" -> \(lq ... " -> \(rq

[tuxic]

Hi,

The troff has infected me! :)

Troff distinquishes between the "opening"
double-quote and the "closing" double
quote by using \(lq nad \(rq instead.

I could think of a non-100% safe regex
to detect opening and closing ", but
this would miss in one or the other
case.

Is their a function or anything else,
which would allow me to write someting
which get closer to 100% error free
detection of opening and closing "
in vim?

...or may be, my regex fu isn't that
bright?

Cheers!
mcc

If you want the actual characters, this will take you to the next
occurrence:

/[“”]/

In other words, put the two quote marks within square brackets.

If you want the troff sequences, use

/\\([lr]q/

The help text is at

:h /[]
