When the string is found, vi exits with return value 0.

This however is not an issue with vim on solaris.
Also, vi does not show this behavior on other ( e.g. rhel, suse) setups.

Anybody can help me regarding this issue ???Smilie
It can be argued this is actually a vim non conformance and Solaris vi is behaving correctly by sticking to the POSIX specification (vi) which states:
Code:
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred.
