Ah, thanks for explaining that. I knew that making that replacement solved the problem but didn't know why. I had used a shell script to fix the problem. Since I don't know how to do a multi-line replace is SED, I used console Vim as a super SED! The one-liner is simply: vim -u NONE -i NONE -Nnes +%%s/tabnew\nedit/tabedit/|wq %1 where '%1' is the placeholder for the sessionfile and '%%s' is needed in 4nt because '%s' would be thought of as an environment variable. This was an interesting and productive exercise, because it taught me how to use console Vim as a very powerful batch tool (I had never used the '-es' combo before). This afternoon, I wrote a ':command' to do this within Gvim (or Vim) for my _vimrc: com! -narg=1 MS mks! args \|sil sp args \|sil %s/tabnew\nedit/tabedit/ \|sil w \|bw \|redr! \|echohl Warning \|echomsg Session saved using tabedit \|echohl NONE This works fine. One last question is how can I get my restored session to have buffer numbers 1 - n instead of 2 - n+1 (which is the way mksession does things)? -- Best regards, Bill
Extra [No Name] Buffers from mksession
Hello Vim List, When I open a session created by mksession, a [No Name] buffer is created for each tab that is created. My 'sessionoptions' contains all the options except sesdir, slash and unix. I checked buffers with 'ls!' before saving the session. I startup with: gvim -S session_file_name.vim In the session file, each tab is created and filled with tabnew edit file Trying that same sequence in a .vim file like this edit file 1 tabnew edit file 2 tabnew edit file 3 tabnew edit file 4 And then sourcing it with: gvim +so myfile.vim or gvim -S myfile.vim does not generate any [No Name] files in ls!. It generates 3 of those files when I save that session and load it later. I am running gvim 7.0.136 on Windows XP Pro with all updates. -- Best regards, Bill
