how can load vi / nedit with marked word?

DoME69 · 12-07-2009, 04:52 AM

Hi...

anyone know what is the command line to view file (nedit / gvim) with marked word?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm not really sure if this is what you are looking for, but maybe it is:

vi +/marked_word infile

The above command opens infile and places the cursor at the beginning of the line of the first occurrence of marked_word.

Hope this helps.

Hi...

this in not good for me.
with this command the cursor go to the line of the marked name and not colored the word.
also...

if there are few words the cursor goes to the first line that the word exist.

there is another way to do this?

Hi,

Still not sure what you are looking for.

1) The coloring of "words" (search patterns) is done by search highlighting. It highlights (colors) all the patterns found, not just the one you jump to. This has nothing to do with opening a file and jumping to a specific word.

Syntax highlighting is in general set in the /etc/vimrc or ~/.vimrc file and looks like this on my machine:

Code:

if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
  syntax on
  set hlsearch
endif

2) I'm not sure what you mean by this:

Quote:

if there are few words the cursor goes to the first line that the word exist.

When searching for a pattern, the search will stop at the first occurrence it finds. Pressing n in command mode will jump to the second (third etc).

Hope this clears things up a bit.

This is what i mean...

Example:

-> gvim "LIB" file.txt

the file opened and all the world same to "LIB" is highlighted.

hope its clear now.

Hi,

It is clear.

The solution is a combination of my previous 2 asnwers.

1) set up general search highlighting (see point 1 post #4). <- I think this is not set up at the moment
2) start as stated in post #2 (vi +/marked_word infile).

If both are working correctly, the infile should be opened, all marked_word's should be highlighted and the cursor should be at the beginning of the line that contains the marked_word (first instance of that marked_word).

Hope this helps.

This work on vim...

but i want it to open gui window like gvim.
when i use the -g all highlights are disappear

Hi,

I never used gvim, but a quick search points out that gvim has its own config file: .gvimrc

Take a look here: 3. Setup gvim init files (highlighting [search and syntax] is mentioned in the example in chap 3.1).

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.
now its work.

another question from the same issue

how can i marked 2 words in the same command?

(i try to google it and didn't found any solution)

druuna · 12-08-2009, 03:40 AM

Hi,

Do you want to search for 2 (or more) different words at the same time (and see them highlighted)?
If that is the case:

You can use an OR ( | ) construct, which needs to be escaped. Normally you do (from command mode) /foo and press enter and vi goes to and highlights foo.

If you want to look for foo and bar: /foo\|bar Both foo and bar are highlighted and the cursor will jump to either of the 2 that comes first.

Hope this is what you are looking for

Thanks again...

i need to add ["] symbol

This is the format:

gvim +/"word1\|word2" file.txt

druuna · 12-08-2009, 03:52 AM

Hi,

I didn't realize you did this from the command line, not from within (g)vim itself.

You indeed need to keep the search part together. Using double quotes is probably the easiest, although the following would probably have work as well (it does for vim): gvim +/word1\\\|word2 file.txt

DoME69 · 12-08-2009, 05:09 AM

After checking, its also work.

i have another question for setting "gvimrc" file...

when i marked the word "connect"
its highlight another words like... "connect / connection / connect2..."

how can i set the gvimrc to mark only this word?

Thanks again.

druuna · 12-08-2009, 06:08 AM

Hi,

I'm not sure if this can be set in the configuration file (I don't think it can, never tried it). It is something that needs to be addresses when construction the regular expression.

This: /\<foo will only look for foo and not foobar or barfoo. It also doesn't matter if foo is at the beginning or end of the line.

Give this a try:

gvim +/\\\<word1 file.txt
or
gvim +/"\<word1" file.txt

Hope this helps.
