That's fixed in post-9.8s patches - this chunk:

https://github.com/ThomasDickey/vile-snapshots/commit/238cfa49fc2b988fdb8889e91a094bb764e785ee#diff-ea76ac38032a1965f4547d65b01ef876

(an extra bracket that confuses "new" flex).
I use https://invisible-island.net/reflex/reflex.html
but occasionally make fixes for "new" flex.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did download the latest, but I did run into a build problem. The error message is


compiling scm-filt.l
echo '#include <flt_defs.h>' > scm-filt.c
flex -Pscheme_ -t .././filters/scm-filt.l >> scm-filt.c
gcc -c -I. -I.. -I../filters -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./filters  -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -I./filters -g -O2  -Dfilter_def=define_scheme -Dprivate_yywrap=scheme_wrap ./scm-filt.c
rm -f scm-filt.c
compiling sh-filt.l
echo '#include <flt_defs.h>' > sh-filt.c
flex -Psh_ -t .././filters/sh-filt.l >> sh-filt.c
/usr/bin/m4:stdin:2872: ERROR: end of file in string

make[1]: * [sh-filt.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ian/PUB/vile-9.8s/filters'
makefile:354: recipe for target 'all' failed

I am afraid it is beyond me to figure out what might be going on with this one. I tried the default build and with builtin filters.

I am attaching config.log as well as the errors from make.

There is a vile that comes with Ubuntu 16, but it seems buggy and crashes every now and then. It is version 9.8q.

Any ideas would be great...

Thanks!

Ian

ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/vile/current/vile.tar.gz

That's 9.8s (current).  I'd have something more recent,
but ncurses took a lot of time...

I think I must have an old version. when I download
ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/vile/vile.tar.gz
I see source files that date from 2010

I am on an Ubuntu 16 system, en_US.UTF-8

Where is the latest source? That will probably fix this.

Thanks

I don't see this (actually using 9.8s+patches, but none affect this area).  I switched to cppmode using

:set-h cpp

and ^X-/ gives me the same result.  There was some problem with
searches a while back.  What version of vile are you using?
(also, locale and operating system might be relevant).

Enter the text

abcdef
def

in a file that does not turn on cppmode.
Position the cursor on the 'd' character on the first line.
Control X / will then find the def string on the next line.
That's exactly what should happen. Great.

now turn on cppmode in that same buffer and try to repeat. It fails.

Then turn off cppmode and it goes back to working properly.


I love vile, it works great, please keep up the great work, I really appreciate it!
