Different quickfix/location list commands are available to process the
output from a command. Some of them are listed below:
1. Redirect the output from a command to a file and pass it onto Vim.
$ grep -Hn abc *.log > output.txt
$ vim -q output.txt
2. Run the command directly from Vim and populate the quickfix list.
$ vim
:cexpr system('grep -Hn abc *.log')
3. Read the output of the command into a Vim buffer (or paste the
output of the command into a buffer) and populate the quickfix list.
Note that you can use an unnamed/scratch buffer for this.
$ vim
:r! grep -Hn abc *.log
:cgetbuffer
The above 'cgetbuffer' command processes the entire buffer. You can
also process only selected lines by passing a range to the command.
4. Use the ":grep" command to invoke an external command
set in the 'grepprg' option.
$ vim
:grep -Hn abc *.log
5. Use the internal ":vimgrep" command:
$ vim
:vimgrep abc *.log
Once the quickfix list is populated, you can use the various quickfix commands
to browse the result.
There are also similar commands available for using the location list.
