Often ignored: ex mode (Score 1)

Hi, the ex-mode isn't as straight forward as the commands for vi but comes in handy at times. A rough and tumble way to view methods in a perl module ":g/sub/p", or public java methods in a java class ":g/^public/p". Also helpful to filter all the stack dumps from the jboss (or other java related ) logfile to get some non generic error messages ":v/\tat/p".
