I have a string that has lots of forward slashes. I need to search it and delete it (e.g. unix path name). I could use a backslash for everything forward slash and find it in vim. Is there a way I need not do that? For now, I use 'grep -n' to get the line number and then delete it. I don't actually type the string, I just use cut-and-paste!
You can use this trick: :let @/='patterrn/with/slashes' n Or this trick in your vimrc: :command! -nargs=* S let @/=<q-args>|norm n and then you use :S pattern/with/slashes Yakov
