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.
