I want to search in vim,
/</string>
but it didn't work, how to do can exactly match "</string>
"?
To find a character string, type / followed by the string you want to search for, and then press Return. vi positions the cursor at the next occurrence of the string. For example, to find the string “meta,” type /meta followed by Return. Type n to go to the next occurrence of the string.
Basic SearchVim allows you to quickly find text using the / (forward slash) and ? (question mark) commands. It is important to note that the search command looks for the pattern as a string, not a whole word.
The simplest way to perform a search and replace in Vim editor is using the slash and dot method. We can use the slash to search for a word, and then use the dot to replace it. This will highlight the first occurrence of the word “article”, and we can press the Enter key to jump to it.
\%o40 Matches the character specified with an octal number up to 0377. Numbers below 040 must be followed by a non-octal digit or a non-digit. \%x2a Matches the character specified with up to two hexadecimal characters. \%u20AC Matches the character specified with up to four hexadecimal characters.
An alternative to escaping the slash (\/
) is to use the backward-search: ?</string>
(and navigating to next matches with N
instead of n
).
