Hi all,

In "Seven habits of effective text editing" by Bram Moolenaar, there is "find all occurrences of a name in a group of files, using the :grep command".

But how to build a group of file, shall I write a file list?
And is there any convenient way in GVIM?

Thanks!
Davy
 

Re: grep in VIM?

He is just saying: if you want to find a pattern in many files, you can use unix command "grep" to find them.
for example,
>grep aaa *.txt
finds all occurence of string "aaa" in text files under working directory.

Re: grep in VIM?

Hi,
If you are migrating from Windows based OS then you can get the analogy as grep is same as
Find text with particular phrase or word.

Syntax will be same as described above.

Thanks
