I am writing a plugin to launch shell command in background by using jobs. How can I escape and expand '%' in <q-args> in my command ? just like replace_makeprg does,
Currently, I split command args by using <f-args> and check each argument, if a argument starts with '%' it needs to be expanded by calling `expand()`. It's a little stupid, this will work in '!': :!gcc "hello 1 2 3.c" but if I use <f-args> in command, arguments in :MyRunAsyncCmd gcc "hello 1 2 3.c" will be splited into: [ 'gcc', '"hello ', '1', '2', '3.c"' ] so I must write like this to ensure <f-args> works correctly: :MyRunAsyncCmd gcc hello\ 1\ 2\ 3.c Which is complete a different user experience from '!'. I wish to use <q-args> directly and pass it to job_start(['sh', '-c', '?'], ...) so that it will work just like '!' but macros like '%' will not get replaced. after checking the vim source, I found a replace_makeprg is very close to this. So, how can vimscript invoke replace_makeprg or something like that to expands '%' in a string ? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
