the last time somebody asked this question I wrote this little function
function! PrintWithHighlighting()
let line = getline('.')
let ms = match(line, @/)
let me = matchend(line, @/)
if ms != -1
echohl none
echo strpart(line, 0, ms)
echohl Search
echon strpart(line, ms, me - ms)
echohl none
echon strpart(line, me, strlen(line))
else
echo line
endif
endfunction
command! P call PrintWithHighlighting()
You can use it like this
:g/you pattern/P
I have never tested it much and I think I did not get any feedback if
it behaved as wanted.
In the same thread somebody else replied with suggesting a script that
probably can be found on vim.org and might be tested more.
Alas, I cannot find the original thread at the moment.
Regards,
Jürgen
