description

This is just like vimscript #1290 but with simpler syntax. :BoolPat {expr} converts boolean-logic pattern {expr} into a normal regexp pattern and searches for it.  Basically, {expr} can be any regexp pattern with some special characters in it for boolean operators: ! is logical NOT, | or || is logical OR, & or && is logical AND (...) is for grouping, whitespace separates items, '...' quotes characters Quoting: Single quotes '...' literally include special characters and whitespace in the pattern.  Two single quotes '' result in one single quote, inside or outside of '...'. :BoolPat abc will search for lines containing the string "abc", using the pattern .*abc.* :BoolPat !abc will search for lines which don't contain the string "abc", using the pattern ^\%(\%(abc\)\@!.\)*$ :BoolPat abc|def will search for lines which contain either the string "abc" or the string "def" :BoolPat !(abc | def) will search for lines which don't contain either of the strings "abc" or "def" :BoolPat abc & def will search for lines which contain both of the strings "abc" and "def" :BoolPat abc' & ''def' will search for lines which contain the string "abc & 'def" :BoolPat abc''def will search for lines which contain the string "abc'def"
