Hello,
Probably the most straightforward way to do this in your ~/.vimrc file:
nnoremap <F3> :call CompileScript()<CR>
function! CompileScript()
" the name of the current file
let fname = expand('%')
" can't compile unless the file is saved
if &modified
echo printf('Please save %s before compiling', fname)
return
endif
" decide how to execute the script:
if &filetype == 'perl'
execute printf('!perl %s', fname)
elseif &filetype == 'ruby'
execute printf('!ruby %s', fname)
elseif &filetype == 'bash' || &filetype == 'sh'
execute printf('!source %s', fname)
else
echo printf("Don't know how to compile filetype '%s'", &filetype)
endif
endfunction
I hope that's enough to get you started.
regards,
Peter
