Regex issue with \|-concatenation

Hello Vim-users,

I've try to construct a regex to find the jumping positions of the )-movement.
Unfortunately I can not concatenate two patterns with \|.

My whole pattern looks like this:
'.\n\zs\_^\_$\|[.!?][]]*\(\s\+\n\=\|\n\s*\)\(\s\+\n\)*\zs\S\|\_^\_$\n\s*\zs\S\|\%$'

If I'm just use the first part, '.\n\zs\_^\_$', empty lines like

this will be found by Vim.
If I'm use the complete pattern it skips the empty line. (It already fails
for the first two parts, separated by \|.)

Is this a bug, a pitfall or just an error in my pattern?



Regards,
Olaf
