Is there a way in vim to read a file, like with :r, and then store it in some register? and is there a way to do the same, but only with the lines in the file that matches some pattern?

    Using external grep, you could do:

    :let @x = system('grep pattern filename')

    to place only the lines matching pattern from file filename in register x.
