Match parenthesised block using regular expressions in vim

Question

I\'m trying to match the contents that belong between a certain ( and its matching ) as found by vim when using the motion %.

Answer 1

As Jens told, this cannot be done with Vim regular expressions.

However if you want to do some special processing you can possibly do the following:

• Find opening parentheses that interest you and then run a macro that will insert some character (let's say ^@) after the opening parenthese and before the closing parenthese using the % binding.
• Then modify the regex accordingly.
