In Vim7 and above, you can append the output of an ex command to the
clipboard register '*' using the following command:

  :redir @*>>

- Yegappan

From the doc how are the following different?

:redi[r] @*> 
:redi[r] @+>		Redirect messages to the selection or clipboard. 
For

backward compatibility, the ">" after the register
name can be omitted. See |quotestar| and |quoteplus|.
{not in Vi}
:redi[r] @*>> 
:redi[r] @+>> Append messages to the selection or clipboard.
{not in Vi}


Anyway I was looking for something like

:g/fred/y A  append to register a but for the clipboard register *





1) @*> and @+> clobber the register, @*>> and @+>> append to it.

2) * and + are synonymous, except on X systems, where "+ is the CLIPBOARD 
(pasted into other programs by Edit => Paste or Ctrl-V), while "* is the 
SELECTION (pasted by MiddleMouse).



For yanking, you may use something like

:g/fred/yank | let @a .= @0

Tony.

Was there/will there be any progress?

Here's a hack I use

let @w=":redir @*^M:g//^M:redir END"
