Hi,

 is there a way to disabling the saveing and writing of/to a file
 and leaving of vim until a certain condition of the contents of
 the file is not given (in this case certain characters are not
 allowed as contents of the file)?
 The whole thing should only be active for a C-/C++-Files.

 Thanks a lot for any help in advance!
 Keep editing!

---- ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/c.vim (Unix) ----

function s:CheckCFile()
    " do something ...
    " setting a variable (let's say l:FileOK) to true (1)
    " or false (0)
    return FileOK
endfunction
augroup cfilecheck
    au BufWritePre *.c,*.h,*.cpp
    \   setlocal modified
    \ | let &l:readonly = ! s:CheckCFile()
augroup END

This should give you the familiar error if you attempt to save a "bad" file or exit Vim without an exclamation mark after the command name (see ":help abandon").

Best regards,

Oops! no, it should be global. Place it in your vimrc instead.


Best regards,
Tony.
