Re: No way to color-region(s) of text -- highlighter mode.
Vim does a lot of optimization of regular expressions, but I do not know how it would perform in this case. I would just try it and see. If it does not work well, that would be a good reason to try :syn match instead of :match . HTH --Benji Fisher On Sun, Aug 06, 2006 at 09:59:31AM -0700, Mohsin wrote: I can try making a large regexp. I was under the impression that alternating regexps can be exponentially slow. Is %l %c %v matching is implemented in constant time? ie. Does vim try to match the regexp at every point - or it can optimize and start matching from the given line? Nothing to do with implementation just the hard theoretical limit, I am afraid, this might not work on slower machines. thanks mohsin On 8/5/06, Benji Fisher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think that Tony mentioned :help /\| in a previous post, but maybe you missed it. I just tried :highlight User1 term=bold,underline cterm=bold,underline gui=bold,underline :match User1 /\%3l.\%7l\\%3v.\%7v\|\%12l.\%18l\\%33v.\%20v/ ^^ and it marked two rectangular regions in this e-mail. I admit that this is just a proof of concept, not very convenient to use. It should not be too hard to store a List of Lists, each inner list giving the boundaries of a rectangle (four Numbers), and then to write a function that processes this list to :execute the appropriate :match statement. Then another function could add or remove Lists to the outer List. :help List vim 7.0 only :help :for ditto It is also possible to use :syn match instead of :match. Each approach has some advantages. Without knowing how you would want to use such a feature, I do not know which would be more appropriate. HTH --Benji Fisher

I use vim 7.0, patches 1-42, huge debug-build. Regards, Chip Campbell I don't get that message. Maybe one of your scripts? On my system, 'vi' invokes Console Vim 6.3.58; 'vim -u NONE -t sometag' gives two error messages (no tags file and tag not found), but if I cd to /usr/local/share/vim/vim70/doc and then do 'vim -u NONE -t -t' the only message I get is 'starting.txt, 1466 lines, 64803 characters. Without -u NONE I get syntax highlighting etc., but nothing unexpected. I use vim 7.0, patches 1-42, huge version with GTK2-GNOME GUI but when (as above) invoked as vim the GUI of course doesn't start. Best regards, Tony.

I get it when I'm using tags: vi -t sometag I grepped vim source, and found that strings 1.2.6.55 Tv1 do not appear in vim sources. Word modified, at the beginning of the string/message, only appears in the name of the 'modified' option. Is it possible that these messages come from the autocommand/plugin ? (in which case -V20 will expose the source). My suggestion can be naive, but does this appear with -u NONE, too ? Can you attach the tagfile and specific tagname to reproduce it ? I tried 'vi -t sometag' in the vim sources directory, but all I get is E426: tag not found: sometag Well, I should have mentioned that I did a recursive grep for Tv1 myself, albeit in my vim/ directory and in my .vimrc, and didn't find it. However, your suggestion (let's hear one for brute force!) nailed the culprit: CVSGetLocalStatus(), from cvscommand.vim. I don't know why that function is being executed on a every attempt to jump to a tag (without going through Bob H's code). Thank you, Chip Campbell
