In the Linux installation of less there is a word delimiter (\<, \>) available (like in vim). This is especially convenient when searching for small words. The Bsd installation doesn't seem to have some kind of word delimiter, neither \<, \> nor \b. I tried to play with the less port and tried different regex-libraries. But none of them doesn't seem to support one of those word delimiters. Is there some alternate library with some other word delimiter? Does the Posix regex library habe a word delimiter? Which one? Maybe the one of the regexx port? If yes can one link the less port with the regexx library? How? -Hanspeter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
