If you merely want to SEE the lines that match your pattern:

vi
"/" = search forwards for regular_expression
"?" = search backwards for regular_expression
"n" = repeat search in the same direction
"N" = repeat search in the opposite direction
/some_pattern moves cursor to some_pattern
n moves to next occurance of some_pattern
n moves to next occurance of some_pattern
(repeat as necessary)
N move in the opposite direction

Right on! Count me with the moaners. Wot, I haven't found a way to
reset to score board of the Shisen-Sho game provided with Mandrake
7.0. Clearly, Linux sucks... er.... Lie-nux suxx (Tim, where are
you when I need you?). The solution, however, is obvious: do a
low-level format on my two hard disks, upgrade my RAM to 256M,
shell out a few hundred, and, joy of joys! install Windows 2000,
with fingers crossed -- will my antiquated Syquest drive show up?
How about my Scanjet? Oh, it's only a (biiiig) fistful of dollars.
I am fond of saying "Money grows back, life does not." Sure.
I'll plant my money elsewhere than in Redmond.
Like, in a few bottles of malt whisky. At least, I get a choice
there.
