From: Josef 'Jupp' Schugt Date: 2003-06-30T04:29:44+09:00 Subject: vim mishighlights statement Saluton! In the following statement vim does not identify the regular expression /^9+/ while it correctly gets /^9\([0-9]+\)/ (that are regular expressions to match COBOL style format specifiers like 9(6) or 999999. Insert a linebreak in front of /^9+/ makes identification work :-| @i = (format =~ /^9\([0-9]+\)/) ? $~[0][2...-1].to_i : /^9+/.match(format)[0].length Gis, Josef 'Jupp' Schugt
