Is there way to search many results of cscope command in vim ?
danguria
I use vim to read the android framework source code with cscope and
ctags.
when I don't know where some file's location, I use cscope command
like that
:cs find f filename
sometimes, the result of cmmand is too many. because the file name is
common.
that time, I hard to find the result what I want to read.
In this case, Is there way to search many results of cscope command in
vim ?

You can display all the cscope results in a quickfix window by
executing
:copen
You can then search in this window using standard search commands.
Hitting Enter on any line will open that file in the other window.

What do mean by "is not working for me"? Do you mean :copen shows no results? Do you mean it shows results but too many so that you cannot easily choose which is the right one?

No, you can't filter the list automatically. What are invalid candidates? How would Vim know?
