Там - это не жадный режим в vim regex.Вместо использования *
используйте \{-}
.
Регулярное выражение select\_.\{-}from\_.\{-}where
, как я думаю, это то, что вы хотите.
Вот несколько документов.
:h non-greedy
*non-greedy*
If a "-" appears immediately after the "{", then a shortest match
first algorithm is used (see example below). In particular, "\{-}" is
the same as "*" but uses the shortest match first algorithm. BUT: A
match that starts earlier is preferred over a shorter match: "a\{-}b"
matches "aaab" in "xaaab".
Example matches ~
ab\{2,3}c "abbc" or "abbbc"
a\{5} "aaaaa"
ab\{2,}c "abbc", "abbbc", "abbbbc", etc.
ab\{,3}c "ac", "abc", "abbc" or "abbbc"
a[bc]\{3}d "abbbd", "abbcd", "acbcd", "acccd", etc.
a\(bc\)\{1,2}d "abcd" or "abcbcd"
a[bc]\{-}[cd] "abc" in "abcd"
a[bc]*[cd] "abcd" in "abcd"
The } may optionally be preceded with a backslash: \{n,m\}.
