saving unnamed buffer
I want to make saving of unnamed buffers possible as follows:
When I do :w on a unnamed buffer, I want it to save to the
file /tmp/N where N is number.
I tried the simple code below, but it does not work. I am getting
'E32: No file name', same error as without this code.
How do I fix it ?
Thanks
Yakov
attempt to save unnamed buffer to file /tmp/N -
au BufWritePre if(expand('%') == '') | exe filename .TempName() | endif
function! TempName()
let x=1
while filereadable(/tmp/.x)
let x = x + 1
endwhile
return /tmp/.x
endfun

Instead of :filename which AFAIK is not a Vim command, try using
:file or :saveas instead.
Best regards,

Nope, does not help.

I fixed another bug, the '*' missing in the autocommand:
au BufWritePre * if(expand('%') == '') | exe file .TempName() | endif
au BufWritePre * if(expand('%') == '') | exe saveas .TempName() | endif
, but still no luck. I'm still getting the E32: No file name error.

Well, what gets displayed when you replace exe by echo or echomsg?
That's a well-known debugging trick.
Best regards,

probably nothing; I guess the file name is checked before BufWritePre is
executed.

Nothing gets displayed. Jürgen must be right.

not good.
How about trying the BufWriteCmd event instead? Maybe it doesn't
check the buffer name.
