Yes, you can find it by typing `:help magic`. "magic" is a setting which tells Vim which characters have special meaning in a regex. One way to figure out the pattern is by trying to search for it (by typing `/pattern`) because it uses the same regex rules. > My grep is as follows (without any escapes) : > > :%s@\textcolor{LRed}{([^}]+)}@\1@g > > What I have to escape here? This should work: %s@\\textcolor{LRed}{\(\w\+\)}@\1@g Or this, which specifies a "very magic" pattern: %s@\v\\textcolor\{LRed\}\{(\w+)\}@\1@g Yours, Andrew Stewart -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
