Finding all numbers that are bigger than 1 in vim

2009-12-24 1 min read Fedora Linux Vim Tips

/^([2-9]d*|1d+)
If we have a csv like structure

The trick here is simple, lets look at the regex from the begining:

^ – start from the begining
() – start and end of block
[] – digits within this. So we are looking from 2 to 9 to exclude the numbers begining with 1
d – search for digits

  • – search for one or more
    | – or operation
    1 – search for numbers begining with 1
  • – containing atleast one occurence or more.<h6 class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles by Zemanta <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://sparksspace.blogspot.com/2009/10/adding-leading-zeros-in-excel.html">Adding Leading Zeros in Excel (sparksspace.blogspot.com)
