SR = Search and/or Replace This plugin defines some commands to allow you to: 1.  Search for characters with a particular syntax highlight group 2.  Search and replace characters with a particular syntax highlight group Commands: SRDispHiGrp Displays the syntax id and name the of the syntax group which has been chosen. SRChooseHiGrp[!]                       Before you can run the search and replace command (:SRHiGrp),                 you must choose which syntax group id you want to operate on.                   The top level syntax id of the current cursor position is                 chosen (ie. the top-level one versus the final one).                 The optional bang lets SRChooseHiGrp use the translated                 syntax ID. This is final one versus the top-level one.                 Assuming we were using a SQL file and placed the cursor on the                 FROM word, then using the SyntaxAttr plugin                 (http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=383)                 it displays both the top-level and translated                 (or final) highlight group as follows:                   group: sqlKeyword->Statement guifg=#ffff00(#ffff00) Examples:   :SRChooseHiGrp                       Will operate on only sqlKeyword syntax groups   :SRChooseHiGrp!                       Will operate on all Statement syntax groups.  Based on                       |group-name|, the Statement group will highlight the                       same color for the following highlight groups:                             Conditional                             Repeat                             Label                             Operator                             Keyword                             Exception                       Therefore SRChooseHiGrp! will operate over all of the                       above syntax groups. SRHiGrp[!]                               This command will perform a search and replace over a visual                 range.  It works in all visual modes, characterwise (v),                 linewise (V) and blockwise (<C-V>). It optionally takes takes 2 parameters.                 Parameter 1 controls what characters are matched.  The default                 for this value is \(\w\+\>\).  This expression is appended to                 the \%# which starts the match from the current cursor                 position.  This expression must specify a submatch \(...\). Parameter 2 controls what to do with the matched string.  The default for this value is \U\1.  This expression will cause the matched string to be UPPER cased.  The \1 refers to the                 submatch from the first parameter. If the parameters are not supplied, the user will be prompted to enter the expression(s).                 The optional bang (!) works the same as SRHiGrp, but will                 operate on all syntax groups that are NOT the chosen one                 (SRChooseHiGrp). Syntax: [range]SRHiGrp[!] 'from-pattern','to-string' SRSearch[!]                                 This command will perform a forward search starting at the current                 cursor position for a specified highlight group name.  The range defaults                 to the entire file.  It supports all visual modes, characterwise (v),                 linewise (V) and blockwise (<C-V>).                 It will optionally take a regular expression and match on both the syntax                 group and the regular expression.                 When using SRSearch! it NOT match the syntax group. ============================================================================== 3. Examples *srchrplchigrp-examples*    SRHiGrp    ------- First place your cursor on an item that is syntax colored the way you want: :SRChooseHiGrp Next, visually select a block of text (all visual modes are supported) :SRHiGrp or :SRHiGrp '\(\w\+\>\)' or :SRHiGrp '\(\w\+\>\)', '\U\1' If you had the following in a SQL file: if exists( select 1             from sys.sysprocedure sp              key join sys.sysuserperm sup            where sp.proc_name = 'sp_http_course_detail'              and sup.user_name = user_name()             ) then     drop procedure sp_http_course_detail; end if; Where the keywords (if, exists, select, from ...) are all highlighted yellow (based on my colorscheme).  After I visually select the area and run the command taking default prompts: :'<,'>SRHiGrp The result is: IF EXISTS( SELECT 1             FROM sys.sysprocedure sp              KEY JOIN sys.sysuserperm sup            WHERE sp.proc_name = 'sp_http_course_detail'              AND sup.user_name = user_name()             ) THEN     DROP PROCEDURE sp_http_course_detail; END IF; Where the keywords (if, exists, select, from ...) are all highlighted yellow (based on my colorscheme).  After I visually select the area and run the command taking default prompts: :'<,'>SRHiGrp! The result is: if exists( select 1             from SYS.SYSPROCEDURE SP              key join SYS.SYSUSERPERM SUP            where SP.PROC_NAME = 'SP_HTTP_COURSE_DETAIL'              and SUP.USER_NAME = USER_NAME()             ) then     drop procedure SP_HTTP_COURSE_DETAIL; end if;    SRSearch    -------------- SRSearch simply does a forward search for the specified highlight         group.  You must first use SRChooseHiGrp to choose a highlight group.         Find the next item highlighted as that syntax group:   :SRSearch :1,5SRSearch :'<,'>SRSearch         Find the next item highlighted that is NOT that syntax group: :SRSearch! :1,5SRSearch! :'<,'>SRSearch!         Find the next item highlighted as that syntax group and matches         the regular expression supplied: :SRSearch something :SRSearch \(first\|second\|word\)         Find the next item highlighted that is NOT that syntax group and         matches the regular expression supplied: :SRSearch! \(first\|second\|word\)         The results of the search is displayed in the command line and is         highlighted in the color of the syntax group.  This will remind you         which group was searched for.             SRSearch - Match found - Group ID: 171  Name: sqlKeyword             SRSearch - Match NOT found - Group ID: 171  Name: sqlKeyword             SRSearch - Match found - Group ID: 171  Name: sqlKeyword  Regex: \(first\|second\|word\)             SRSearch - Match NOT found - Group ID: 171  Name: sqlKeyword  Regex \(first\|second\|word\)

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
SrchRplHiGrp_v70.zip	7.0	2015-08-25	7.0	David Fishburn	Changed SRSeach.   It will first look for the next item that has the syntax group chosen via SRChooseHiGrp.   It will also take an optional regular expression and not only find that syntax group, but also match the regular expression. Added SRSearch!, which will find the next item that is NOT what was chosen via SRChooseHiGrp.   Same applied with the regular expression, so if I put my cursor on a comment and     :SRChooseHiGrp. Then ran     :SRSearch! something It will find the word "something" that is NOT in a comment.
SrchRplHiGrp_v60.zip	6.0	2015-07-27	7.0	David Fishburn	- Changed to save and restore cp options on load - Changed to use Vim's autoload mechanism to load only when required (speeds Vim's load time and memory usage) - When using SRHiGrp! (operate over non-matching areas) the plugin always reported "Did not find highlight group" (Mathieu Westphal) - SRHiGrp now defaults the range to the entire file, instead of the current row
SrchRplHiGrp_v50.zip	5.0	2011-01-01	7.0	David Fishburn	When using SRSearch only stop at the next match when clearly moving between gaps of the highlight group (Sergio).
SrchRplHiGrp_v40.zip	4.0	2008-01-30	7.0	David Fishburn	Fixed an undefined variable and some boundary conditions.
SrchRplHiGrp.zip	2.0	2006-04-11	6.0	David Fishburn	New command, SRSearch, so you can find characters with a specific syntax highlight group. Changed SRHiGrp to escape the regex provided.  This saves you from having to escape the expression yourself.
SrchRplHiGrp.zip	0.15	2004-01-09	6.0	David Fishburn	Changed SRChooseGrp to default to the top-level syntax group instead of the translated group.  Using SRChooseGrp! will choose the translated group (which will effect more values). Added a help file. Removed SRHiGrpNot and replaced it with SRHiGrp!. Updated the examples. Most of this work was done by Dr. Chip (thanks!).
