Is the content of the register literal text or a regular expression? If it's a regular expression (or doesn't have any regex metachars in it), you can use :let @/=@a where "@a" is the register in question. You can then use n/N to navigate forward/backward. If it's literal text that might contain regexp metachars, you have to escape them: :let @/=escape(@a, '.*\\$^') (adjust the set of escaped characters accordingly; I just grabbed a few I knew to be problematic) -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
