hi,

how can i search more than one values in a text file opened in vi editor.

i.e, to do a forward search we use /searchstring and to do a backward search we use ?searchstring, but, how can i check more than one search string in a file, as we are doing in grep family of commands.

thanks in advance

bearing in mind you need to escape parantheses and the logical 'or':

/\(string1\)\|\(string2\)

Hi,
