| a few more details or an example would be helpful, do you run this command in your vimrc file and what is it doing exactly? I was looking to create a mapping to easily copy and paste text from my windows session to my vim using something like vmap <C-c> "*y but this did not seem to work in non gui mode, and I was lookign for some answers with that... this might be somethign different but I still could not understand the context of this example immediately from reading it. thanks, ben

The following one is for multi-line pattern (like using \_.).
" previous clear the clipboard with this command :normal "*y0
" Usage: :g/<pattern>/call CopyMPattern()
function CopyMPattern()
let resultTxt = ''
let allLines = getline(".", "$")
for line in allLines
let resultTxt .= line . "\n"
endfor
echo resultTxt
let @* = @* . matchstr(resultTxt, '' . histget("/", -1), 0) . "\n"
unlet resultTxt
unlet allLines
endfunction
