That function is of limited use, since its return value will stay
contant within a given Vim session, but it will probably change if you
restart Vim, except in MS-Dos, where it always returns zero. You can
maybe use something like
function TempSplit()
let f = '.vimf' . getpid()
let g:tempfilename = '~/' . f
if filewritable(g:tempfilename)
exe "new" g:tempfilename
if has('autocmd')
au VimLeave *
\ if filewritable(g:tempfilename)
\ && !v:dying
\ | exe '!rm -vf' g:tempfilename
\ | endif
endif
return 1
else
return 0
endif
endfunction
to create a file which you won't need after Vim exits.
Best regards,
Tony.
