workaround: open the file with "less" and right after initiating search with '/' type '!' and the prompt will switch to "Non-match /". now enter eg "spool.exim.input" and less will skip all those lines. :-) that's one of the features i dearly miss with vim. oh, well. Sven -- LESS 563 | https://github.com/gwsw/less.git SEARCHING: | http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/ A search pattern may begin with one or more of: ^N or ! Search for NON-matching lines. ^E or * Search multiple files (pass thru END OF FILE). ^F or @ Start search at FIRST file (for /) or last file (for ?). ^K Highlight matches, but don't move (KEEP position). ^R Don't use REGULAR EXPRESSIONS. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
