I'm sure you'll get more answers if you post this question on the vim_use mailing list, but I can at least tell you how I search through multiple files (although I'm no expert at these things). I use the :vimgrep command, so if I want to search through all c-files for "hello world" I do something like: :vimgrep /hello world/ *.c That will set the quickfix list and you can step through all matches with :cn and :cp. You can see all the matches in a new window by typing :cw and then you can also hit enter on a line to open the file where that match was. Read all about it by typing :h quickfix Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
