Vim words syntax highlighting
How can I in Vim highlight, e.g., the first 10 words in a line ?
I have found in Stackoverflow the answer for the first word :
/^\s*\w\+/
but I cannot figure how to tinker it for 10 words, or any number of words, by the way.
Solution
Does this help?
/\v^\s*(<\w+>\s*){,5}
In the screenshot, it "highlights" 0-5 words as an example.
