takanabe / eregex.vim

Perl/Ruby style regexp notation for Vim

eregex.vim

Installation

It is recommended to install the script using Vundle or pathogen.

Quick Start

After installation, just press / or ? as usual. This will map to :M/ command, which is used to perform the PCRE search.

You can call eregex#toggle funtion to toggle the keymapping. For example, add the following line into your .vimrc file:

nnoremap <leader>/ :call eregex#toggle()<CR>

Then you can use / to toggle the eregex.vim.

For replacement, use :%S// (uppercase S) to trigger perl style regexp.

See :help eregex for more information.

Config

To disable the script by default, put this line in your .vimrc file:

let g:eregex_default_enable = 0

To change the search delimiter to something else than the default / and ?, following options can be used:

let g:eregex_forward_delim = '/'
let g:eregex_backward_delim = '?'

To force case sensitive like perl re. Add the following config:

let g:eregex_force_case = 1

Then you will have case sensitive match by default. You can always change it by adding /i modifier.
