This will create a quickfix list with all lines containing "standard",
not necessarily as a separate word, and in any mix of upper- and
lower-case, in any files whose names start with n in the current
directory. The first match is displayed.
To go from match to match, use one or more of
:cnext
:cprev
:cfirst
:clast
which can of course be mapped for ease of use, e.g.
:map <F2> :cnext<CR>
:map <S-F2> :cprev<CR>
To see one line per match as a quickfix list, use
:copen
then hitting <Enter> with the cursor on a match will display that match
in the file where it is found.
To find all matches, but only as separate words, in (lets say) any HTML
or XHTML files in the current directory or at any depth below it, you
can use
:vimgrep /\c\<standard\>/g ./**/*.htm ./**/*.html ./**/*.xhtml
see
:help ordinary-atom
:help starstar
:help quickfix.txt
Best regards,
Tony.
