Vim Icon
Before install the new vim, I deleted the version of vim first. In the process it deleted the vim icon. Now I have installed Vim 7.1. Where is the icon located for vim? I am using VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1 (2007 May 12, compiled May 12 2007 14:19:39) MS-Windows 32 bit GUI version with OLE support. Thanks for your help in advance. Michael Michael D.

css indenting
Hello everyone, How do I get vim to stop adding an indent to a line when the previous line ends with a semicolon? This happens when I am editing a CSS file. What options should I be looking at?

What is the latest version of netrw? I am have version v108k. I am getting an error of undefined tfile variable. Can someone help me with this? TIA Michael D.

@=
Would someone please explain the usage of @=. I am getting confuse from the
help file.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Matches the preceding atom with zero width. {not in Vi}
Like (?=pattern) in Perl.
Example matches ~
foo\(bar\)[EMAIL PROTECTED] foo in foobar
foo\(bar\)[EMAIL PROTECTED] nothing
To me, the second example matches nothing because there is no foo in between
the \( and \)
The first example, I am all confused. If someone can enlighten me, I would be
greatful.

The pattern
\(...\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
is interpreted as make sure that this matches here, but don't
consume any of the characters so that things after the '=' begin
at the same point as this.
In the first example, as stated it matches the foo in foobar
because the bar can be found after the foo, but it doesn't
become part of the match. To see this as you're playing around,
it's helpful to have
:set hls
so you can see what matches.
In the second example, the regexp is asking for two disjoint
things: foo followed by bar and also followed by a second
foo. It might be more clear if foo wasn't used twice:
/foo\(bar\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This would match nothing as well, as it asks for foo followed
immediately by bar as well as foo followed immediately by fred.
For most uses, this isn't very helpful and can be more clearly
expressed as
/foo\zebar
where the \ze means and I want the pattern to stop matching here.
I can concoct crazy uses for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] where it might be useful
but most of them are refactorable:
/foo\([[:print:]]+\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
could become
/foo[a-z]\ze[[:print:]]*
One could also use it for crazy filtering:
/foo\(\%(.[aeiou]\)\{5}\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This would ensure that you have five pairs of word-characters
(\w) followed by a vowel following foo, and that the 4th
letter following foo is an a. The above could be written
without using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as something ilke
/foo\w[aeiou]\wa\w[aeiou]\w[aeiou]\w[aeiou]
Readability is in the eye of the beholder. :) With 2 characters
times 5 instances plus 3+1+6, they balance out to about the same.
As those numbers get larger, using the [EMAIL PROTECTED] notation might
prove
more helpful.
This allows you to do some pattern intersection (in the
set-theory definition of intersection) which might allow you to
shorten the pattern if you have long stretches of things. It
might be helpful in DNA sequencing or something of the like,
where one is hunting for certain patterns of A/C/G/T and want to
ensure that a certain repeating pattern exists, and then at a
certain point in that pattern a given item is more constrained.
One might have an alternating sequence where you know you want
something like agct followed by 75 alternating pairs
/agct\(\%([at][cg]\)\{75,}\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can then tack on but position 28 through 30 must be 'gag'
(I might be off-by-one here)
/agct\(\%([at][cg]\)\{75,}\)[EMAIL PROTECTED](.\{27}gag\)[EMAIL
PROTECTED]
The result will only be the agct, but it will be followed by
the context you need, as there might be many other instances of
agct that you don't care about because they lack this context.
(the genetics example chosen as I've seen a couple
genetics-searching related questions on the list)
As cautioned, they're fairly contrived instances, but I hope the
above ramblings shed more light than they bewilder, and that
using :set hls helps see what's considered when using the [EMAIL
PROTECTED].
