For example, I have a command :InFunc . It's quite a trivial
command, it takes an argument Ex-command and executes it within a
function. Purpose is to automatically restore the highlighting state
and the last search pattern.
:h function-search-undo
Thus, mostly the Ex-command will be :global or :substitute .
Problem: :global has the default range "1,$" whereas :substitute has
the default range ".". For :InFunc, I'm urged to specify a default
range (e.g. either -range (current line) or -range=% (whole buffer)).
I don't want that, instead I want the default range of the argument
command to be in effect. But at the moment, it's not possible to
check for an empty range.
" What I use now:
:[range]InFunc {cmd} " execute :[range]{cmd}, for :subst
:[range]InFunc! {cmd} " execute :{cmd}, for :global
com! -bang -range -nargs=+ InFunc<line1>,<line2>call
InFunc(<bang>0,<q-args>)
func! InFunc(bang, cmd) range
if a:bang
exec a:cmd
else
exec a:firstline.",".a:lastline. a:cmd
endif
endfunc
" I'd like to write the above this way:
com! -range=NoDefault -nargs=+ InFunc<range>call InFunc(<q-args>)
func! InFunc(cmd) range
exec a:range. a:cmd
endfunc
Oops, we would also need a new variable a:range !
Maybe, actually,<range> and a:range are not needed, I just want to
be able to check for an empty range:
com! -range -nargs=+ InFunc<line1>,<line2>call InFunc(<q-args>)
func! InFunc(cmd) range
if range_is_empty()
exec a:cmd
else
exec a:firstline.",".a:lastline. a:cmd
endif
endfunc
This would just a require a new function range_is_empty().
Unless there are additional use cases where this could be useful, my
first hunch is that it's not worth the effort.
It's more about consistency:
When you define a mapping, you can check if a count was given or not
(check v:count >= 1).
When you define a command with -range, you cannot check if a range was
given or not.
TIL it is indeed possible to check if a range was given or not:
:com! -range Crwg :echo (<count>==-1 ? 'No range was given' : 'The given
range is <line1>,<line2>')
Works with Vim 7.0 onwards.
How did you dig up that old thread?! (But thanks for following up!)
Oops that old? Feels like yesterday.
I've found out about that, too:
To distinguish between no given range (then defaulting to something like the
last modified range) and a range, use -range=-1 and check <count>:
:command! -range=-1 Test echomsg <count> == -1 ? "'[,']" : <line1> . ',' .
<line2>
This emulates -range=% but allows :0Test (passed via first argument boolean
flag), too:
:command! -range=-1 Test call Test((<count> == 0), (<count> == -1 && <line2> == 1 ?
'1,' . line('$') : '<line1>,<line2>'))
Amazing.
Right, it bothered me at the same time why a range "0" is always
turned into "1".
Best thing: I tried with gVim 5.7, it works there too.
A really old feature this is!
