Re: how to display different color in vi

Hi John,

thanks for your help. I have tried several times, but always failed.

1. I first tried to set "abc" in my file to be red as:

:match abc /\<yellow\>/

the system seems to be idle and there is no response.

2. I checked help with "match" command and tried its example:

:highlight abc ctermbg=green guibg=green
:match abc /\<red\>/

still there is no reponse.

could you give me some timps? thanks.
