Perhaps it's better to just remove the extra duplication? Vim uses foo vs \_foo to distinguish whether a linefeed is included or not; e.g. abc. <= literal followed by anything except linefeed abc\. <= literal followed by anything including linefeed Maybe we can find some suitable mangling to apply to \w, \d, \s, etc... to say "with extra Unicode chars like these" -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/Thread Previous | Thread Next
