Vim Regex : How to search for A AND B NOT C -

-

i have many lines containing names of presidents carter, bush, clinton, obama. contain 1 of names, 2, 3, 4 of them (in order).

i know how search carter , clinton , obama ->

:g/.*carter\&.*clinton\&.*obama/p

i know how search carter , (clinton or bush) ->

:g/.*carter\&\(.*clinton\|.*bush\)/p

(there better ways that)

but can't figure how search (and looked @ related questions), e.g., bush , clinton not carter , less how search, e.g., bush , clinton not (carter or obama).

to represent not, use negative assertion \@!.

for example, "not bush" be:

^\(.*bush\)\@!

or using \v:

\v^(.*bush)@!

important: note leading ^. while it's optional if use positive assertions (one match other), required anchor negative assertions (otherwise can still match @ end of line).

translating "bush , clinton , not (carter or obama)":

\v^(.*bush)&(.*clinton)&(.*carter|.*obama)@!

addendum

to explain relationship between \& , \@=:

one&two&three

is interchangeable with:

(one)@=(two)@=three

the difference \& directly mirrors \| (which should more obvious , natural), while \@= mirrors perl's (?=pattern).

(assuming mingw) i'm still trying handle on c++ stuff, after reading coun...
