In most cases, doing,
:b <pattern>^D
should be sufficient?
For example, if you have loaded three buffers:
abc.txt
abc.c
xyz.c
If you do:
:b abc^D
You'll get:
abc.txt abc.c
If you do:
:b .c^D
you'll get:
abc.c xyz.c
The <pattern> above is not a regular expression, but a simple string
that is in the buffer name. ^D is of course, CONTROL+D. You can cycle
through the matches with tab/shift-tab.
