I'm trying to put the output of an external command onto the statusline,
or, what would probably be better, into the line under the status bar,
the input/output line.
I've tried redirecting to a register and putting %...@a} on statusline but it
puts the actual command and not the output there. This is one way I've
tried:
fun Txt2Rtf()
!txt2rtf % > @A
set statusline...@a}
endfun
I've also tried redir command.
I'm not getting very far with this even though I've read help on redir,
statusline, commands and googled for the past few hours.
The txt2rft is a small bash script that uses abiword cli to convert plain
txt to rft, and outputs a success or failure message. It's this message
that I want to display somewhere while *not* having the 'Press enter...'
line pop up.
I don't know if this is possible at all but it would be very useful.
Expectantly thanking you.
Dave
