So...you're saying that I can use redirection with :!start /b, if the redirection is WITHIN a process started by the :!start command? > C:\>start /b cmd /c echo 1vim_free | cscope -dl -f cscope.out | > C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\sed --regexp-extended -e "s/(\S+) (\S+) ([0-9]+)/\1:\3 \2 > > I hope that vim should get same result.

If we can use redirection, we should not say redirection is not available. We should say that if redirection is needed, you need to create a new shell within the :!start command. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
