in vim, I can set local configuration as 

 setlocal number

How I can set a local match only for specific filetype?

I use this:

 autocmd! BufEnter *.py,.vimrc,*.sh,*.c* :match ColorColumn /\%>80v.\+/

… but when I open a file of another filetype, in the same session, this gives me the match ColorColumn.

I didn't actually understand your question to the detail, but that doesn't exactly do what you asked for. – ldigas Nov 13 '11 at 12:52
my question is, if I open many files, how activate the match only in some files? – juanpablo Nov 13 '11 at 15:34
"many files" ?? Many files of a certain filetype or by extension or ... ? Filetype is activated by autocmd FileType, BufEnter by opening a buffer. Depends on what you want. Could you try to explain it a bit further? – ldigas Nov 13 '11 at 19:15
many files, some *.py, some *.c, some *.txt – juanpablo Nov 13 '11 at 20:56
See my answer. Is that what you wanted? – ldigas Nov 13 '11 at 23:46

This will make the highlighting active when python or c filetypes are open (feel free to add the others in there. I didn't know what filetype *.sh extension belongs to), and make it go away for for all the others.

augroup LongLines
    autocmd!
    autocmd FileType * match none
    autocmd FileType python,c,sh match ColorColumn /\%>80v.\+/
augroup END

*.sh is a bash file, a sh filetype – juanpablo Nov 14 '11 at 1:22
@juanpablo - Updated the answer to include sh. – ldigas Nov 14 '11 at 1:37
