I feel like I'm breaking some rule by posting here without my name being some form of Mark. :)

No offence, but this code is riddled with syntax errors. You're using c like syntax instead of vimscript. Here's a cleaned up version:

function FindPattern( pattern )
let line = getline('.')

if ( line =~ a:pattern )
" do something
else
" do something else
endif
endfunction

"And the regex needs a little bit of work too:

call FindPattern( '=>\s\?{' )

I would probably use '=>\s*{' but either could work depending on the situation.
