See the contents of an included file
Hi, I'm a tech writer and I use Vim for all my writing. Currently we are authoring in Markdown. To save time and keep consistency, I've been using include files for boilerplate text. It is usually of a form: #include doc/site/pages/include/sample.tmpl Just having that line in another file, I was wondering if there was a way I could expand the contents, temporarily, so I could read the text in the current flow while still keeping it in its include location?

Not with vimgrep, but on the command line to find files that don't
contain a pattern I generally do
grep -c "beta: " **/*.md | grep ':0$' | sed -e 's/:0$//'
this assumes your shell can do ** and it's probably not the most
elegant/efficient way of doing it, but it's one that I can remember how
to spell.
And then I opened the grep manual page to see if there's an easier way,
and lo and behold:
-L, --files-without-match
Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each
input file from which no output would normally have been
printed. The scanning will stop on the first match.
Just what the doctor ordered!
To feed these files to to vim you could play with temporarily setting
'grepprg', or use :args `grep -L "beta: " **/*.md`
If your shell doesn't do **, you may need to use something a bit more
complicated like
find -name '*.md' -exec grep -L "beta: " {} +
HTH,

Applying macros to all files, macro stops processing files
Hi All, Yesterday, with the groups help, I was able to apply a macro to a group of Markdown files in my site directory, using: :args ~/site/**/inde*.md :argdo :normal @b :argdo :write (@b is a macro that searches for '---', moves up two lines, and inserts a new line, 'beta: true') I THOUGHT this would work, but i found out it didn't make it through all the files. When I looked I found that one of the files was blank. Thinking that might have caused the macro to stop at that time, I removed the file, and changed all the other files back, and tried running it again. This time, it didn't get further, but the next file it should have processed, is legit, and i can run the macro on that individual file. Are there limitations in trying to run a macro across a bunch of files like this? Has anyone else done this? Thanks again! Russ -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

Re: Trying to apply macro to all files under a folder
You are correct! -Original Message- > When you set the arg list, where does it start? from your current > working directory? It depends a bit on how you populate it and how your OS expands globs, I suspect. Once you've populated it with :args **/inde*.md or whatever, you can check/display the arg-list by just issuing :args without additional parameters. I think your original glob didn't recurse into subdirectories, so you might also need to prepend "**/" to search into subdirectories :help starstar I found this later, and THIS was the issue/answer! starstar gave me the correct argslist!

Trying to apply macro to all files under a folder
I found a ref to this and some commands that should work, but wont for me. In my site directory, are other directories and files. I have a macro that I created, @b that i want to run recursively on all files named index.md in all the folders in site. I had initially set CWD to the site directory. In vim i did: : args inde*.md (Thinking this should put all the index.md files into the arg list. That didn't work, it only found the one index.md file in site.) My next step would have been: :argdo :normal @b (That works for the one file it found.) Then i would save my files: :argdo :write Should this work? How can I get this to work. All examples I've found describe this, but it doesn't want to work for me. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Russ -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

Problems getting Vim thesaurus plugin to work
Hi All, I spent most of the day today, trying to get this to work: https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4588 I am using Vim 8 on a Macbook running OS X 10.14.6 Mojave.

Markdown tables in Vim
Hi All, I am creating documents using Markdown formatting. There are many tables in the document i am working on. I'm trying to see if there is a plugin that will allow me to take text like the following: SignedAddition Instructions Effect on OVC/OVCU MOVU OVC,loc16 OVC = [loc16(5:0)] (where there is a tab character between the two columns above.)

vim to format/prettyprint assembly lang source - Best way?
Hi All, I have some assembly language source, in an older document, that when it was ported to our current platform, the code samples got messed up. I am now faced with the task of going through and reformatting the assembly language examples. I'm using vim, to format the code but it is still a pretty manual task. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a better method. I start with something like this: Code MOVIZF32 R1H, #-2.0 ; R1H = -2.0 (0xC000) ABSF32 R1H, R1H ; R1H = 2.0 (0x4000), ZF = NF = 0 MOVIZF32 R0H, #5.0 ; R0H = 5.0 (0x40A0) ABSF32 R0H, R0H ; R0H = 5.0 (0x40A0), ZF = NF = 0 MOVIZF32 R0H, #0.0 ; R0H = 0.0 ABSF32 R1H, R0H ; R1H = 0.0 ZF = 1, NF = 0/Code And to maintain the formatting i need to end up with something like this: Code MOVIZF32 R1H, #-2.0; R1H = -2.0 (0xC000) ABSF32 R1H, R1H ; R1H = 2.0 (0x4000), ZF = NF = 0 MOVIZF32 R0H, #5.0 ; R0H = 5.0 (0x40A0) ABSF32 R0H, R0H ; R0H = 5.0 (0x40A0), ZF = NF = 0 MOVIZF32 R0H, #0.0 ; R0H = 0.0 ABSF32 R1H, R0H ; R1H = 0.0 ZF = 1, NF = 0/Code Can anyone suggest the best way to do this in Vim? thanks, Russ -- -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist.

Re: Re: Re: Updating Syntax menu
Tony had also suggested creating an empty ftplugin file. I did that, put it in ftplugin, restarted vim, but the syntax menu didn't get updated. I'm thinking something manual has to be done, because i have other syntax files, that work, and have their files in the right place but the syntax menu does not show these either.

Tony suggested that you try creating at ftplugin file, not an ftdetect file. Still, looking at the synmenu.vim file, it doesn't look like that would have made any difference either. I think you will need to copy and then modify the file as Tony suggest. I see another file called makemenu.vim which apparently generates synmenu.vim, perhaps you can modify and use that instead of direct modification.
