Edit Question
Title
Body
Consider the following example: case Foo: ... break; case Bar: ... break; case More: case Complex: ... break: ... Say, we would like to retrieve all matches of the regex case \([^:]*\): (the whole matching text or, even better, the part between \( and \) ), which should give us (preferably in a new buffer) something like this: Foo Bar More Complex ... Another example of a use case would be extraction of some fragments of an HTML file, for instance, image URLs. Is there a simple way to collect all regex matches and take them out to a separate buffer in Vim? Note: It’s similar to the question “ How to extract text matching a regex using Vim? ”. However, unlike the setting in that question, I’m also interested in removing the lines that don’t match, preferably without a hugely complicated regex.
