Re: Regex to find case differences

...
You've got a couple options depending on what you want to do with
them.  You can use a decorate-those-that-match approach such as

  :g/^\(\S*\)\s\+\<\1\>/sil! >

 

Thanks Tim, I didn't release we could use the \1 that way.  Once again I just assumed it could only be used in the replacement part.

To force the case sensitivity (regardless of the ignorecase setting) we can just add:

  :g/\C^\(\S*\)\s\+\<\1\>/sil! >

And to remove the ones that are identical (instead of indenting):

  :g/\C^\(\S*\)\s\+\<\1\>/d

And to reverse that (i.e. keep only the ones that do match):

  :v/\C^\(\S*\)\s\+\<\1\>/d

Hope this might help others.
