Hello,
thanks for your answer to my previous question. Now I'm trying to do
something more complicated, i.e. communicating between the vim-user and
my perl-script. Is there any possibility to interact with the vim user
from a script, e.g. asking him some questions?
Say, I wrote the following perlscript called "testscript.pl", which when
invoked with either ":'<,'>!testscript.pl" or ":'<,'>B !testscript.pl"
takes the piece of selected text and writes it out into the file
"testappend":
#!/usr/bin/perl
open(OUT, ">>testappend");
@text=<>;
print OUT ("@text\n");
print ("@text");
close(OUT);
Now the new project is to ask the user some question and append the
answer to the file as well. My first idea was to add the following lines
to the perl script:
print("Add some comment? ");
$answer=<>;
print("*** $answer ***\n");
But this won't work of course, because the perlscript doesn't get back
to vim in order to collect more input.
Do you have any ideas how to tackle this problem? Input does not
necessarily have to take place from within vim - an extra shell window
would be fine too.
Best regards,
Harald

"Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish
and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer
if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and
and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and
and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?"
