search - Is it possible to use vimgrep for a visual selection of the current file? -
i search vimgrep within visual selection of current file , not whole file. possible , how? couldn't find case google or in vim help.
the reason why want because need result in quicklist (copen
) , :g/foo
showing matching lines @ bottom not doing job.
yes, can, vim has special regular expression atoms mark positions, , start , end of visual selection marked '<
, '>
. there atoms on / before / after mark, need combine cover entire range of selected lines:
on selection start |
after selection start , before selection end |
on selection end.
to limit search current file, special %
keyword used.
:vimgrep/\%(\%'<\|\%>'<\%<'>\|\%'>\)foo/ %
