description

Buffersaurus is a plugin for searching and indexing the contents of buffers for regular expression patterns or collections of regular expression patterns. Results are displayed in separate buffer, and can be (optionally) viewed with user-specifiable lines of context (i.e., a number of lines before and/or after the line matching the search pattern) or filtered for specific patterns. Global commands provided include (among others):   :Bsgrep[!] {pattern}     Search all buffers (or just current buffer if "!" given) for regular     expression pattern, {pattern}.   :Bstoc[!]     Construct a "table-of-contents" consisting of filetype-dependent     "important" patterns (e.g. class and method/function definitions). Other commands include those for filtering results, jumping to next/previous matching line without opening the catalog, searching for special user-defined terms ("Bsterm") etc. The results list can be browsed/navigated using all the usual Vim movement commands. Selected lines can be opened in the previous window, a new window split (vertical or horizontal), or a new tab page. Context can be toggled (i.e. show a user-specified number of lines before or after the matching line). Results are grouped and sorted by filename, and then by line number, but can also be ungrouped and sorted lexically. Search and replace operations (using the ":Bsreplace" command, or "R" key mapping), or execution of arbitrary commands ("x" or "X" key mapping), can also be carried out on matched or contexted lines can be carried out Detailed usage description is given in the help file, which can be viewed on-line here:     http://github.com/jeetsukumaran/vim-buffersaurus/blob/master/doc/buffersaurus.txt Source code repository can be found here:     http://github.com/jeetsukumaran/vim-buffersaurus

vim-buffersaurus-v2.0.1.tar.gz	2.0.1	2011-12-24	7.0	Jeet Sukumaran	- command / search and replace is not carried out silently, allowing for, e.g. "c" flag (i.e., interactive S&R with confirmation)
vim-buffersaurus-v2.0.0.tar.gz	2.0.0	2011-12-24	7.0	Jeet Sukumaran	- Ability to carry out search and replace operations ("R" or "ctrl-R" key maps, or ":Bsreplace" command) on matched or context lines. - Ability to execute arbitrary commands ("x" or "X"  key maps) on matched/context lines.
vim-buffersaurus-v1.2.3.tar.gz	1.2.3	2011-07-06	7.0	Jeet Sukumaran	- Do not clobber default register when rendering buffer. - Fixed bug in window splitting policy.
