ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Documents$ find -H test1/ ! -type d -exec md5sum {} + > sum.md5
why not use '-type f' ? anyway, the following should do what you look for:
$ find -H test1/ ! -type d -exec md5sum {} + | awk -f kotgc.awk
the awk code is:
--
{
if ($1 in arr)
arr[$1] = arr[$1] ", " $2
else
arr[$1] = $2
}
END {
for (m in arr)
if (arr[m] ~ ".*,.*")
print m " " arr[m]
}

What do you mean by external sytsem call.? The only way to communicate with vim from the outsied is by using client-srever or the netbeans api. You can't call viml code from the outside (like using a dll) - all you can do is write input to a file, call vim whih writes output to a second file, read result like things, and little nicer by using the client-server features. :h client-server :h netbeans I'd consider rewriting your code in another language such as python - depending on how much it is. You can run python from within vim, but also outside of Vim I think I'm going to disagree here -- perhaps vim's -c option will help. See :help -c . As an example, consider vim -c echo 'hello' -c sleep 3 -c q which will run vim, show hello in the messages, wait 3 seconds, and then quit. So, you presumably could vim -c call MyFunction() -c q and vim will run your function. Now, I agree with Marc that I don't really know what you mean by running vim via an external system call. How do you intend to launch vim? If by an icon, you presumably could set its properties so as to run vim with the -c arguments as I showed. If you're using cygwin or the dos-shell, again, you could run vim as shown (you may need to specify the full path). I also agree with Marc that you can't really interact with vim via an external interface other than via the client-server or netbeans mechanisms (well, mostly not; I've managed to put together something that lets gdb talk to vim under linux/unix systems).

You almost had it earlier; you need to have your new region contained in
texDocZone:
syn region texTabularPos matchgroup=texStatement
start='\\begin\s*{\s*tabular\s*}{' end='}' fold
contains=@texFoldGroup,@texDocGroup,@NoSpell containedin=texDocZone
That may not be the only region that it needs to be contained in, however.
I use my :HLT! command available with my plugin hilinks.vim:

Then you can move your cursor around and determine which syntax region

Re: OT: The so called steep learning curve of vim...
Vi is present on nearly every *nix system in existance, from big servers to whatever is in your refridgerator. It is also on OSX. Vi is essentially a subset of vim. If you know vim you know vi. If you constantly need to work on random systems anywhere - you are stuck knowing the basics of Vi. I think Vi without Vim is pretty bad as an editor - but I can still use it. My fingers know what to do. There is nothing else this is true of. Vim is Vi on steroids.It is the default Vi in many places, but where it isn't or windows where there is no decent text editor, Vim can easily be installed when you are going to be working for more than a few minutes. I personally do not use but a fraction of the power of Vim, I have been using it for almost a decade and I am a novice. some things are hard to learn. but the power of even my limited knowledge is enormous. Sure there are other editors that are really good. I have used and loved many others, and some were friendlier. But none were everywhere. So fine it takes a long time to get to the point where you can change the 3rd to last word in each line to uppercase, prepend the first word in the line, and append the line number in octal. But I am sure someone here can tell you how to do that. If you are going to live in eclipse and no where else - then you probably should learn eclipses built in editor. There are other editors that will be the best choice for other specific scenarios. My work dictates that I must know Vi fairly well. And Vim is available - usually the default Vi in most of the places I work. I don't care about the learning curve. I care more about the fact that there are so many other tools like email, or ... that have their own limited editing capability built in that do not work like Vim. Anyone have a vim plugin for eclipse ? ThunderBird ? On Tue, 2012-10-02 at 16:04 +0200, Marc Weber wrote: vim emacs: Well - the whole discussion is pointless because we're not talking about what should be learned. Even notepad can do things Vim can't: Open registry dump files! So use the right tool for a job. And if you want to learn about Vim - and you're helpless - then ask somebody knowing how to find the tool, or use the website. Its not a Vim problem. Yes - at the beginning I didn't knew how to quit Vim - yet I learned it. I even was too dump to understand the press :q because : is often used as separator - and I only experienced the Windows world before. You all say productivity of Vim is great - well - yes after writing tons of plugins (depending on what you do) - and even then you feel limited. Or why do people start writing eclim like bridges (talking about programming). Now is Eclipse more productive than Vim? Eclipse can highlight used and unused #ifdef regions, Vim cannot (AFAIK). Thus given infinite amount of time - which tool will be more productive if your task is to understand fast which lines are actually used? So don't forget that there are also other tools - and use what it fits your needs. And if you're worried that new users fail to get started with Vim - then teach them how to use google instead of telling them where to find help. Linux users will soon learn that there is man, Windows users are used to F1 and a Help menu - and everything exists and works. However :helpgrep mailinglist does not show anything - WHY? :helpgrep irc shows nothing (but my own documentation of my plugins! [1]) :helpgrep chat (same) :h community (does not exist) :helpgrep community (one hit: on the netbeans page) But its us helping new users and giving them those hints Should we fix that? So what about adding a help file about the community containing pointers to the internet relay chat, and the mailinglist? If productivity was the thing you want to measure - and if you're a writer - and think Vim is the tool I always tried to learn - then also have a look at plover: http://plover.stenoknight.com/ It may allow you to write with 200WPMs and more after some training. Maybe that's providing a bigger productivity boost - than all Vim knowledge. So how do you feel about the community? Should we be mentioned in the help files?

So simply use a FileType autocmd, or a filetype plugin file (in the after directory). I.e., either create this autocmd: au FileType netrw setl ts=14 or create file ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/netrw.vim with contents: setl ts=14 Ben, thanks for that. Unfortunately, the specific local value for tabstop depends on the longest filename of interest (not necessarily the longest filename in the directory. This is set on a per-directory basis (and may change if the directory contents change). I just need the local tabstop value to stick to the buffer for a particular directory. So I need (or rather, want) vim to treat a netrw window in the same manner as it does other buffers. That way, even if I close the window, then open it again (for example, using :e Directory/Path), the ts value stays the same as it was set to last time. I get the feeling that I'm asking for the impossible, but there have been occassions in the past in which I have been pleasantly surprised. Netrw sets g:netrw_maxfilenamelen to 32 by default; you can change that as you wish (ie. via .vimrc, etc). It is used to set netrw buffers' local tabstop value. See :help g:netrw_maxfilenamelen .

Why 'relativenumber' will cause vim so lag even if I just type. Also I found that 'relativenumber' will cause mouse scrolling must slower than 'number'. I think it should not be so slow since it do not do many thing. There must be some bugs in vim.

you just change the font size?
I just did some more tests. The result: It occurs with
different fonts and different font sizes. So, probably no
font issue.
Just to add to the pool of data, what does the output of
:version have to say about builtin_terms, terminfo
and termresponse (and note there's a difference
between + and ++ for some of those settings). It
might also helpful to know the settings for various
term-related settings:
:set ttybuiltin? term? tenc?
++builtin_terms +terminfo +termresponse
:set ttybuiltin? term? tenc?
ttybuiltin
term=rxvt-unicode
termencoding=
Hopefully this sheds some light on the source of the
trouble. I have to admit that I'm no expert in those
things, it had always worked for me.
I suspect that your termcap/terminfo database entry may be incorrect.
If your system is using terminfo (as opposed to termcap)...
infocmp ${TERM} -- will display the terminal settings for your current
$TERM . You may wish to save the output (ie. ... ${TERM}.info)
Then snoop on vim to see what its issuing:
script snoopy
vim somefile
:q
exit
The snoopy file (pls be sure that you don't already have such a file
before doing this). Check that the escape sequences work on your
terminal as they're supposed to. I'm afraid you'll probably have to
google the codes (probably looking for ansi escape sequences will help).
Alternatively, see if you can find a terminfo entry for your ${TERM} via
google and use infocmp to compare what you have vs what the internet
version has.
Good luck!

Now read the example vimrc file contents: :r $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim 3. Write the file with: :w The next time you start Vim it will use syntax highlighting. You can add all your preferred settings to this vimrc file. For more information type :help vimrc-intro And the first time i did :e~/.vimrc it was allowing me to edit. then i got off the page as i didntk know what to type. Now i cant even open the file to edit as when i type the command :e ~/.vimrc it says: E37: No write since last change (add ! to override). And so i just open the example :r $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim and use v to select it and use :w vimrc to write it to my vimrc file and it says the same thing. I'm going to make a few guesses, but this is what I think has happened: * you edited ~/.vimrc * you changed ~/.vimrc, but did not exit vim * you told vim to edit ~/.vimrc again -- thus the changes you made to ~/.vimrc would be lost. Vim is telling you that you have a Vim window open with the ~/.vimrc file; by using :e again, you're telling vim to (re-)read ~/.vimrc, wiping out what's currently in that window. Are you sure that that's what you want? Vim has told you that to proceed to wipe out your changes, use :e! ~/.vimrc (that add ! to override message). Now for a guess: you've opened a second instance of Vim and you're trying to edit the same file again. I suggest looking for the first instance of Vim that you've got running and to save (or not save) that window. Plus, I suggest using vimtutor.

Re: netrw and 'autochdir'

NETRW BROWSING AND OPTION INCOMPATIBILITIES *netrw-incompatible* {{{2
Netrw has been designed to handle user options by saving them, setting

options to something that's compatible with netrw's needs, and then
restoring
them. However, the autochdir option:
:set acd
is problematical. Autochdir sets the current directory to that

file you edit; this apparently also applies to directories. In other
words,
autochdir sets the current directory to that containing the
file (even if
that file is itself a directory).
(end help entry)
I have had :set autochdir in my .vimrc for a few years now and have
not noticed any problems with netrw. Granted, I don't use netrw for
any remote editing, just for local directory browsing (and not even
that very often). Is this :help section still accurate? I thought
issues with 'acd' have been resolved? If not, what sort of issues
still exist? A basic acd will cause problems statement doesn't give
much information for a user making the decision whether to use the
option or not.
There is, perhaps, an unexpected behavior.
Try running vim, typing (assuming /some/directory exists and directory
is itself a directory)
:e /some/directory
:pwd
You'll find that pwd shows /some , which is apparently unexpected to
some people. I have made considerable efforts to get netrw to work with
acd otherwise.

Re: netrw and symbolic links
ThomasD wrote: Hi I'm just discovering Vim's ability to edit files that reside on a remote machine. I wish to run gVim on my Wndows machine, and the files that are locted on a linux machine are accesible by ftp. Everything was working fine, and I was browsing away on the remote machine, when I tried to open a symbolic link. and the browser returned me to my remote home directory. Maybe I should have noticed that the file in question was marked as a directory in the browser. When searching the documentation it seems that the issue has been dealt with, so I'm at a loss. Can anyone point out a solution to editing files pointed to by a symbolic link? BTW, I'm using gVim 7.3. The symbolic links mentioned in the documentation (history) refer to local symbolic links. Remote symbolic links are more problematic -- when is the remote link pointing to a directory versus pointing to a file? The ftp listing itself isn't clear. Remote directories are probed with directory listing commands; remote files are downloaded and made available for local editing, so clearly these two operations are quite different. Netrw chooses to treat things as files unless there's a trailing /, which, for symbolically linked directories, isn't there, so netrw ends up treating symbolically linked directories as files. One idea would be to always try to change directory and to intercept the occasional error to require treating it as a file. Unfortunately this means that several transfer requests are being made, which in turn means multiple requests for passwords -- which I'm trying to minimize.

In my experience this was due to hiding ./ and ../ from the listing; I put a command to remove any and all blank lines. Its working for me, so I'm not sure what's happening for you. Major bug, when I click on a binary jpeg or whatever file, the double left mouse mapping seems to fails. I cannot return to the upper dir Netrw's double-leftmouse mapping does not carry through to files being edited, and this includes the double-leftmouse mapping. You can return with :Rex The gx map is kept available (see :help netrw-gx) by default, although it too can be suppressed. If g:netrw_retmap is true, then 2-leftmouse will be set by netrw upon editing a file. I see where netrw, in an effort not to stomp on user maps, manages to avoid stomping on its own map -- so v141c returns the 2-leftmouse behavior. Its another way of doing :Rex, by the way.

The trace you sent is expected behavior; netrw assumes that since it has an ftp request but no $HOME/.netrc, then it needs to ask for userid+password. The case you want handled, that is, with -s:... , isn't currently detected as ftp+.netrc. If you called the file .netrc instead of ftpconnect.ftp, it might work, as then netrw would detect $HOME/.netrc and assume that ftp will know how to logon via the .netrc file. If you would bear with me, perhaps if you changed the file's name to .netrc and trace netrw with that. If it works, of course, then perhaps I could write some code to let netrw assume method#2 when -s is in g:netrw_ftp_cmd (ie. ftp+.netrc).

Re: Netrw and new file through ftp connection
Hello, epanda: I got a Windows version of vim73, installed it (as my attempts at compiling vim now fail due to the lack of -mno-cygwin with gcc and my not having installed mingw), opened a cmd window, and was finally able to duplicate the problem you've been having. I also got a pair of unwanted blank lines in the display. Anyway, if g:netrw_ftp_cmd has -s: in it (or -S:), it will assume that its got login information like a .netrc. I was able to avoid manual entry of the userid+password that way. I also got rid of the unwanted blank lines (I'm not sure why they aren't properly deleted as they are under cygwin and linux, but an extra cleanup command did the trick). I've now put vim v141a on my website at http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW . Regards, Chip Campbell -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!

You may have to change the backslash(es) to slashes. c:/Windows/System32/ftp -s:C:\Users\Admin/ftpconnect.ftp myhostname.fr This command works well under Xp console so it's not depending on slash or backslash. But if I do : let g:netrw_ftp_cmd c:/Windows/System32/ftp -s:C:\Users\Admin/ ftpconnect.ftp myhostname.fr Then e ftp://mylo...@myhostname.fr/ ask me again my password Try some experiments: let g:netrw_ftp_cmd= 'c:\Windows\System32\ftp -s:C:\Users\Admin\ftpconnect.ftp' call system(g:netrw_ftp_cmd. myhostname.fr) Netrw doesn't do it quite like the above; instead, it constructs a command using a filter. If this still doesn't work, then please do a debugging trace. Directions for this are at :help netrw-debug Please send me a copy (but elide any passwords if you happen to have any show up).

I think you're looking for the g:netrw_ftp_cmd; something like let g:netrw_ftp_cmd= ftp -s:c:/ftpconnect.ftp in your .vimrc. You may need full paths to ftp and ftpconnectt.ftp in the string, too.

I tried digging through the syntax file for TeX but could not figure out which highlight group controls this unfortunate choice of colors. Can somebody (Chip?) tell me how to change the colors to something more readable? 'Conceal' is the group name, so: clear the grey :hi clear Conceal set something manually: :hi Conceal (settings) or link to something: :hi link Conceal Constant Thanks Ben, now it is much better. I couldn't find any mention of this in the help. Now that everything highlights properly I've found a problem, not sure if it is a bug or not so I'll ask here first to see if anybody knows whats going on. The following line $a^2$ is concealed properly (the ^2 is drawn as superscript 2). However $\alpha^2$ isn't -- it is drawn as greek letter alpha (the ^2 disappears!). Does anybody know if this is a problem with the +conceal feature or with the TeX syntax file? I'd guess this is a limitation of the conceal mode -- somewhat disconcerting when used for this purpose. The ability to show utf-8 extended characters is new to conceal, by the way -- my vim 7.2 patched with VN's conceal patch didn't have that capability.

Re: (g)vim changing directory on invocation
James Kanze wrote: I'm encountering a somewhat strange behavior when using gvim on Windows.

The directory is not changed if I pass in a relative path, if I use / instead of \ in the filename, or if there's more than one filename (even if both are in the same directory). I'm wondering if this is intentional, and if so, how can I turn it off. (I'm intentionally in the directory one level down, and the only reason I'm using absolute paths in this case is because I'm invoking gvim through cyg-wrapper.sh.)
