I use Vim to write my Python source and use the debugging library pdb
.
Let's say I have this code with break points commented out:
import pdb
#pdb.set_trace()
def func1():
#pdb.set_trace()
foo_bar
I then want to globally un-comment all the pdb.set_trace()
commands.
Also, I'll want to re-comment them.
I figured out how to search for the commented string:
^\(\s*#\)\@!\s*pdb.set_trace()
After this I don't know how to build a string of commands that would globally find the string and add a #
to the beginning of the string so as not to mess up the indentation.
UPDATE:
I realized that I need to not re-comment lines with an existing #
so I
built upon the accepted answer:
To comment out:
:g/\s*\(#\)\@<!pdb.set_trace()/normal I#
