my question is different
this is to do with command terminal and not vi editors,
try this simple thing in your terminal
if you have a lots of .c files (some starting with letter n or any letter you want, create a new.c if you want) then at the prompt
CC n[hit ESCAPE]
then in the terminal prompt you will see
CC new.c
if that is the only file starting with n
I had this utility earlier now I dont have it. thanks for answering my question but I tried going into ksh, it did not work.
I hope you understand what I want. thanks anyway.

lookbib(1) User Commands lookbib(1)
NAME
lookbib - find references in a bibliographic database
SYNOPSIS
lookbib database
DESCRIPTION
A bibliographic reference is a set of lines, constituting fields of bibliographic information. Each field starts on a line beginning with
a `%', followed by a key-letter, then a blank, and finally the contents of the field, which may continue until the next line starting with
`%'.
The lookbib utility uses an inverted index made by indxbib to find sets of bibliographic references. It reads keywords typed after the `>'
prompt on the terminal, and retrieves records containing all these keywords. If nothing matches, nothing is returned except another `>'
prompt.
It is possible to search multiple databases, as long as they have a common index made by indxbib(1). In that case, only the first argument
given to indxbib is specified to lookbib.
If lookbib does not find the index files (the .i[abc] files), it looks for a reference file with the same name as the argument, without the
suffixes. It creates a file with a .ig suffix, suitable for use with fgrep (see grep(1)). lookbib then uses this fgrep file to find refer-
ences. This method is simpler to use, but the .ig file is slower to use than the .i[abc] files, and does not allow the use of multiple
reference files.
FILES
x.ia
x.ib
x.ic index files
x.ig reference file

Probably all dates should be indexed, since many disciplines refer to literature written in the 1800s or earlier.
