I use irssi for IRC. I like to quickly browse (local) logs (in vim) sometimes before sending a message. I've got a rather clunky way of browsing them, and I'm fishing for ideas on how to improve the process.
Here's a log snippet: --- Day changed Fri Feb 11 2011 00:12 < foo> this should help: http://www.example.com 00:13 < bar> that's great, thanks ...snip several hundred messages... 14:23 < me> hey guys, have you seen http://www.example.com ? To figure out when X was last discussed, usually I * open the file in Vim * use "G" to skip to the bottom of the file * search backward for X * search backward again for [some part of] the phrase "^--- Day changed" Anyone have ideas on better/faster ways to do this? One thing that would be nice if there was an easy way to always force the first line of the editor to be the nearest "^--- Day changed" line above the current line. Or just to have it displayed on the/a status bar or a preview window or something. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
