I like this one, I put it in my local ~/.vimrc file and it works for VIM
(v6.1.3). But when I load this on another machine running VIM (v6.3) I get
this error:
bash-2.05$ vi file
Error detected while processing /export/home/me/file:
line 6:
E28: No such highlight group name: Comment '\[perl]\zs\_.\{-}\ze\[/perl]'
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
What am I missing?
Contents of .vimrc:
:set number
:set hlsearch
:set incsearch
:set ignorecase
:set shiftwidth=3
match Comment '\[perl]\zs\_.\{-}\ze\[/perl]'
Thanks,
K
