Hello,
Why does the following _single_ line map
generate the E10 error?:
nmap <space> :let @a=substitute(getline('.'),'\(^.*|\s*\)\|\(\s\s*$\)','','g')
How would it be fixed?
What do you intend to do with the mapping?
First, replace all "|" with "<Bar>":
nmap <space> :let
@a=substitute(getline('.'),'\(^.*<Bar>\s*\)\<Bar>\(\s\s*$\)','','g')
"|"s are used as the command separator in the :cmdline.
I think you'd want the first "<Bar>" to be escaped with a backslash \ .
Also, put "<CR>" at the end:
nmap <space> :let
@a=substitute(getline('.'),'\(^.*\<Bar>\s*\)\<Bar>\(\s\s*$\)','','g')<CR>
Simplifying the regex yields:
nmap <space> :let
@a=substitute(getline('.'),'^.*\<Bar>\s*\<Bar>\s\s*$','','g')<CR>
HTH.
