I don't think so, but  you can :redir into a register, put into a
buffer, or use split(), filter(), etc.  I don't see a way to loop
through the mappings list directly from script.

Sorry if I've got brain lock on this, but is it possible to match a
substring like

match wildmenu ;\(directory\)\{3,};

such that it will match three or more substring chars of the pattern
to match "dir" as well as "directory"?  (I know the above format isn't
this.)  I know I could do it if I could use an expression, but syntax
highlighting doesn't allow that, so I'm wondering if I can do it with
regex alone.

Hello,

I'm trying to write my first vim-plugin, but I got stucked.

I managed to execute an external command, which gives me back a list of
filenames.
One filename per line.

For each of the filenames I want to execute another command.
I tried it with code:

let line=getline(".")
while (strlen(line)!=0)
   "do sth. here -- construct the external command and so on
   j
   let line=getline(".")
endwhile

When I execute the code, it runns into an infinite loop, because the
lines are joined together with each loop

file:
text1.txt
text2.txt
text3.txt

after interrupting the loop the looks like
text1.txt text2.txt text3.txt

it seems j is interpreted as a J (join line) here.
And by the way, I think this is a bad solution anyway.
Can someone give me a hint how to do it in a clean way?

You need to say exactly how you executed the command, since that will
define how the lines were acquired, whether they went from the file
into a buffer correctly, etc.

This loop is best done comparing line(".") <= line("$")

'j' is incrementing, right?

The infinite loop is probably due to other reasons, ie. above.

Is the file (disk) or file loaded into a Vim buffer window?

Not enough code examples to understand why it would be like this.

If it's simple enough, you can use global commands

:g/.*/commands

Enclose "ectory" in another group that matches zero or one times.  The
"\v" enables "very magic" mode, and the "%()"  construct causes the
group to not be counted as a sub-expression:

\v(dir%(ectory)?)

      Remember that a vim script (including a plugin) is a list of
commands in Command-Line (Ex) mode, not Normal mode.  So that j means
:j[oin], not "move the cursor down one line."  If you change "j" to "+"
it will be a step in the right direction.

      Either

:g/./<any Command-Line mode command here>

or

let linenr = 0
while linenr < line("$")
   let linenr += 1 " The += construction requires vim 7.0 .
   let line = getline(linenr)
   " ...
endwhile

      Do you mean like /\<dir\%[ectory]/ ?

:help /\%[]

HTH 			 --Benji Fisher

Hi,

I'm running Vim 70 on win XP,
since the upgrade to 70 I can't print because Vim uses postscript mode
to make a hardcopy (it says "sending to printer" and "print job sent")
and the result gets lost someplace.

The question is:

1. How to make Vim print using standard windows mode
(with a dialog for selecting a printer and w/o postscript).

2. Why VIM 70 uses postscript rather than normal windows mode?
Have I done something wrong while I was installing VIM?

3. Is it possible to use postscript mode successfully under win
with a postscript printer, but over the network?

Best regards

Real close.  Turns out I think I want:

/\<\%[directory]\{1,}\>/

but it doesn't seem to recognize \{1,} and without the \< it seems to
be matching white space.  The problem with   \<   is that it doesn't
seem to allow   \<\%[.directory]

What I'm actually trying to do is walk through a list of displayed
files, highlighting each file individually (full length) (I.e via
<TAB> key).  The regex is because the file names are truncated to a
given length, and the remainder is wrapped down onto the next column


./                               >8.3                           >oaded

    >8.1                     WinWalker.2.2.zip
TabLineSet.vim.1.>   WinWalker.zip.upl>

After I solve the \%[   problem, I then have to see if I can deal with
the continuation segments.....

First of all I want to thank everyone, who contributes to this list.
It's one of the best lists I know of.

The response time is so quick and the quality of the answer are really
great  ...  thank you really much.

In the meantime I found a solution myself:

	 let s:lnr=line(".")
	 let s:image=getline(s:lnr)
	 while (strlen(s:image) != 0)
		 let s:lnr=s:lnr+1
		 let s:image=getline(s:lnr)
	 endwhile

Compared to your suggested solutions it's not that good (but anyway I'm
poud of myself ;-)

I'm not that familiar with the global commands yet, maybe I have to
read the documentation again.

D'oh.  For some reason I though 'j' was a variable and jumped to a
wishful[wrong] conclusion that it was really:

exe j

which would set the line number to an incrementing index.  This is
useful if you are going to use   :ex   commands  in addition to
function calls.

   exe linenr

Sorry I wasn't clear, I wanted it to match any substring of
'directory'.  I think   \%[]  does this (courtesy of Benji).

I second Benji's suggestion of using a ":g" command if possible.
   It's more idiomatic, making it easier to understand.

While you omit what you're doing with s:image once you have it,
unless you're doing something with it within the body of your
while statement, you're only getting the last one.  It also looks
like you're getting the line number only to pass it to getline().

The idiomatic way would be something like

	 :g/^/let s:image=getline(".")


If you only want from the current line to the end of file, you
can use

	 :.,$g/^/let s:image=getline(".")

(:g defaults to the whole file if you don't specify a range, such
as ".,$")

If you want to call a function with each line, or run an external
command, you can do something like

	 :g/^/exec "!somecommand ".getline(".")

Hope this gives you some additional ideas regarding how to use
the :g command.

This problem only occur when I click the gvim icon which I created on the KDE
menu.
When I start gvim on the shell, then there is no problem.
Both icon and shell refer to the same /usr/local/bin/gvim program.
I copied the .gvimrc file to the ~ directory.
KDE version is 2.2-11.

I generally use Fedora Core 4; I doubt that Red Hat 7.2 acts that much
differently.  So, please give the
commands you actually use.

For example:

   gvim .
   (select a file) <cr>
   :e .

which, by the way, works for me.  If that sequence isn't working for
you, then you'll need to consider
the settings you're using.  Try commenting out all such settings (except
set nocp) and determine which
one, if any, is causing problems.

As much as I love vim (write school papers, do meeting notes, program),
in the software side of the world everything seems to be going eclipse.

Are there any plans as part of the main VIM project to integrate it with
Eclipse?

Not sure of the main page for this tool as I'm at work (where I don't
use Java), but I have it at home. This will get you there, though.

I am using this and it work fine. It's worth the paltry sum I paid for
it. It's not Vim, but it's such a step above the nambi-pambi editor
Eclipse offers that it's like dying and going to heaven.

By default VIM on Windows uses the Windows print APIs, it will only
generate PostScript if it was compiled in.  Does the output from
:version include +postscript?  If it does then whoever built your
version of VIM included it, and you need to find another Windows
distribution that does not include PostScript.

I use Gnome version 2.14.1, and I happen to have a gvim icon on my
toolbar.  With that, I don't see the problem you're having.
What does :pwd show?  ie.

gvim .
:pwd
(select file)<cr>
:pwd
:e .
:pwd

And again: are you doing the sequence above (excepting that you're using
a icon instead of the initial gvim)?

Regards,
Chip Campbell

No, but it supports a very decent plug-in architecture. You can plug
just about anything into it--cvs, ant, maven, electric dog polishers,
fur-lined kitchen sinks and vi.

Prefixing the yank and put commands with registers works, but I personally
prefer the following, which just sets the default register to be the system
clipboard. From :help clipboard,

	 When the "unnamed" string is included in the 'clipboard' option, the
	 Unnamed register is the same as the "* register.  Thus you can yank to
	 and paste the selection without prepending "* to commands.

So just put "set clipboard=unnamed" in your vimrc file, use y and p as normal,
and watch them yank to and put from the system clipboard! Woo!

Hi!

There is another possibility:

Shift-Ins = paste
Ctrl-Ins = copy
Shift-Del = cut

These shortcuts work even without sourcing mswin.vim (BTW, I don't
recommend sourcing mswin.vim) and have the advantage that they work in
all Windows applications.

Best wishes,
Georg

I knew about that but I somehow forgot to mention it (though maybe I
should have), because most of my puts and yanks are internal to Vim and
I don't like clobbering the system clipboard in that case. "De gustibus
et coloribus non est disputandum."

Subject: [Ctags] Ctags-5.6 released

Hello friends,

I know it has been an eternity since my previous release of ctags and I hope
you are patient with me. Don't expect a whole lot of change in this release.
I am sure that lots of you have submitted bug reports and patches which
haven't made it into this release. But it does fix a number of bugs and a few
minor enhancements. Hopefully, I might return to a more reasonable update
cycle.

ctags-5.6 (Mon May 29 2006)
* Reformatted code for independence of tab stop setting.
* Changed default configuration to disable installation of etags links.
* Changed --langmap to first unmap each supplied extension from other
languages.
* Added support for ASP constants [ASP, Patch #961842].
* Added support for GNU make extensions [Make].
* Added .mk as extension recognized as a make language file [Make].
* Added missing help for list-maps options [Bug #1201826].
* Added new extension field "typeref" [thanks to Bram Moolenaar].
* Extended functionality of Ruby parser with patch from Elliot Hughes [Ruby].
* Fixed creation of TAGS file with etags-include but no files [Bug #941233].
* Fixed problem reading last line of list file (-L) without final newline.
* Fixed infinite loop that could occur on files without final newline [C,
Java].
* Fixed incorrect tag for first field of table [SQL].
* Fixed missing tags for functions beginning with underscore [Sh].
* Fixed missing tags for functions with variable arg list [C, Bug #1201689].
* Fixed parsing problem with parentheses in argument list [C, Bug #1085585].
* Fixed problem in preprocessor directive handling [C, Bug #1086609].

Thanks for pointing this out... even perforce supports some keywords, so
reloading is essential for me as well.

That seems like a fair warning, although I will say that I have never
run into such a problem. I don't tend to keep things in the clipboard
for very long at all, normally just to move from one place to another.
If I do want them to be around for a while then I generally want them to
be around for A Long Time, and so I put them in a named buffer so that
nothing can stomp on them.

Choose whatever is better for your workflow, is the solution!

I use Gnome version 2.14.1, and I happen to have a gvim icon on my
toolbar.  With that, I don't see the problem you're having.
What does :pwd show?  ie.

gvim .
:pwd
(select file)<cr>
:pwd
:e .
:pwd

And again: are you doing the sequence above (excepting that you're using
a icon instead of the initial gvim)?

This is nice when you want it, but I find it frequently annoying
when I do anything that happens to delete in the process...like

	 ciw

to change the current word under the cursor.  It tromps over my
system clipboard, replacing it with the word I've removed.  I
tend to like to keep things of importance in my system clipboard,
and I'm all to prone to making edits in Vim that would tromp on
my clipboard.

At least Vim offers the option, unlike most other editors. :)

So use it if you like, but be forewarned :)

Oooo...  Coool.  Thanks!
