Dear Vim experts,
consider the following line
glm::something mlg::else
The goal is to match the words before and including the double colons. Of course
/\([a-zA-Z]\+::\)
does the job. But the question arose, if
/\<.\+::
could be restricted to match
glm::something
and not
glm::something mlg::
- So I guess my question is, is there a way to tell vim to please not
extend the matched region to be as large as possible, but e.g. take
the smallest possible match?
Of course I browsed the documentation and asked the most popular
search machine. I might have overlooked the answer.
Help will be much appreciated.
Have a pleasant day and
Cheers!
