Sorry to bring this up again. Was there every any solution to this? Do I just need the latest netrw? I was trying to get :Explore **/pattern working But as I do see the "Match n of N" in the lower right, the cursor never moves in the browse buffer (with <S-Down>/<S-Up>) and occasionally I get errors:
Error detected while processing function netrw#Explore: line 165: E121: Undefined variable: w:netrw_longlist E15: Invalid expression: w:netrw_longlist == 0 || w:netrw_longlist == 1 I'm using vim7.0 (2006 may 7), and tried this with -N -u NONE. Maybe someone here knows how to get this working? -----Original Message----- From: Gary Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 1:14 PM To: vim@vim.org Subject: Re: Search all text files in a directory for text FWIW, I just tried this on Windows using vim-7.0 without patches, downloaded from vim.sf.net, and netrw 103g.
