match - How to ignore Characters while matching in vim -
i'm trying vim (gvim on windows 7) since past few days , must interesting though have steep learning curve.
i have decently built _vimrc file now, forum, looking specific pattern ignore technique.
suppose, in text file have string so:
10000000c9abcdef and in same file have same string, separated : @ every 2 characters so,
10:00:00:00:c9:ab:cd:ef or, have line such as,
hostname portname switchname as as
hostname_portname_switchname how can make vim match  10000000c9abcdef 10:00:00:00:c9:ab:cd:ef , match hostname portname switchname hostname_portname_switchname ?
as of now, if place cursor below 10:00:00:00:c9:ab:cd:ef , hit *, highlights , matches 10:00:00:00:c9:ab:cd:ef, how can make match 10000000c9abcdef ? or hostname_portname_switchname hostname portname switchname ?
basically, want vim ignore non word characters ( assuming non word characters space, tab, :, ::, comma, colon, semicolon etc.)
is there way ?
after selecting match *, can modify search pattern change literal non-keyword character (\k\@!.) match non-keyword, optionally (\?):
:let @/ = substitute(@/, '\k\@!.', '\\%(\\k\\@!.\\)\\?', 'g') to make work _, have either adapt regular expression, or :set iskeyword-=_.
