Agreed. I have a plugin that needs to search for parent directories and for files in those parent directories. I used to use finddir() and findfile() for this, but then discovered that they, too, resolve symbolic links. This was no good when running the plugin in a subdirectory of one of the /usr/src/linux-headers-* directories. Many of those subdirectories are symbolic links to some other /usr/src/linux-headers-* subdirectory, so my plugin would find the wrong parent directory. I wound up writing my own FindDir() and FindFile() that textually traverse $PWD/<relative path>. Regards, Gary -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
