Hello,
I'm trying to write my first vim-plugin, but I got stucked.
I managed to execute an external command, which gives me back a list of
filenames.
You need to say exactly how you executed the command, since that will
define how the lines were acquired, whether they went from the file
into a buffer correctly, etc.
One filename per line.
For each of the filenames I want to execute another command.
I tried it with code:
let j = 1
1
let line=getline(".")
while (strlen(line)!=0)
This loop is best done comparing line(".") <= line("$")
"do sth. here -- construct the external command and so on
j
'j' is incrementing, right?
let line=getline(".")
endwhile
When I execute the code, it runns into an infinite loop, because the
lines are joined together with each loop
The infinite loop is probably due to other reasons, ie. above.
file:
text1.txt
text2.txt
text3.txt
Is the file (disk) or file loaded into a Vim buffer window?
after interrupting the loop the looks like
text1.txt text2.txt text3.txt
Not enough code examples to understand why it would be like this.
it seems j is interpreted as a J (join line) here.
And by the way, I think this is a bad solution anyway.
Can someone give me a hint how to do it in a clean way?
If it's simple enough, you can use global commands
:g/.*/commands
