I tried it with a ".. combination, but it doesn't work because powershell is complaining for a second " to close the string. I also tried it like \=@@ which works fine as replace pattern, but not for searches. I tried to set it to Register a with @a=@@ And I tried to paste it with <C-r>a , but it doesn't work, because commands like <C-r> are not working in written state. Do you have a solution for that problem. I also would be fine If there is a way to read out the seach pattern from a File somehow with :r.

Hello Ben,

yet again thanks for the explanations.
In my case I opened a File like:
vim c:\ip.txt -e -s +let @/=getline('.')

and vim had problem somehow to use let in that context. I now made just a litte java program for that purpose. But anyway, thank you very much for your help and effort!
