Go to end of long list of repeating pattern

I have a large file with a lot of lines that have the same template, something like this:

dbn.py:206 ... (some other text) <-- I am here dbn.py:206 ... (some other text) ... (something I don't know) <-- I want to jump here

Is there a quick way in Vim to go to where the dbp.py:206 sequence dbp.py:206 ?

/ ^\(dbn.py\)\@!

Matches the first line that does not start with text inside chamfered brackets.

If you need quick access to this, you can add a vmap that grabs the visually selected text and inserts it in the right place (but first avoiding it with escape(var, '/') .

Try this vmap: vmap <leader>n "hy<Esc>/^\(<CR>=escape(@h,'/')<CR>\)\@!<CR>
Press n when visually select the text you want to skip, and you should be placed on the next first line, which does not start with highlighting.

I just write a function to select identical strings:

 nnoremap vii :call SelectIdenticalLines()<CR> fun! SelectIdenticalLines() let s = getline('.') let n = line('.') let i = n let j = n while getline(i)==s && i>0 let i-=1 endwhile while getline(j)==s && j<=line('$') let j+=1 endwhile call cursor(i+1, 0) norm V call cursor(j-1, 0) endfun
  • type vii to select identical strings (feel free to change the key binding)
  • type zf to collapse them.
  • type za to switch folding

This is useful if you want to compress multiple blank lines. It acts like Cx Co in emacs.

One option is to go to the bottom of the file and search backward for the last line you want, and then go down:

G ?^dbn\.py:206?+1
