I've been kluging an old version of BufExplorer plugin to trim down
displayed paths when invoked by different gvim versions (Solaris,
Windows, and Cygwin). Without such trimming, BufExplorer might
display:
5 % Temp.txt c:\cygwin\home\Administrator\Temp
1 # diff.out c:\cygwin\home\Administrator\Temp
I've managed to cobble the code so that in Solaris and Cygwin, it is
displayed as
5 % Temp.txt ~\Temp
1 # diff.out ~\Temp
However, I'm having some trouble making the code work with Windows vim
7.2. Currently, I am using the code:
let _cfile = _cfile." ".substitute(
\ expand("#"._cnr.":p:h"),
\ "[Cc]:\\cygwin\\home\\".$USERNAME, "~", "g" )
Here, _cfile is the basename of the file path before the statement is
excuted. This code doesn't do anything. As a debugging test,
however, this "works":
let _cfile =
\ _cfile." ".substitute( expand("#"._cnr.":p:h"),
\ "c:\\", "~", "g" )
It works in the sense that "c:\" in the file path is replaced by "~".
This test "works" too:
let _cfile =
\ _cfile." ".substitute( expand("#"._cnr.":p:h"),
\ "cygwin", "~", "g" )
It works in the sense that "cygwin" is replaced by "~".
Strangely enough, the combination of the above two tests does not
work:
let _cfile =
\ _cfile." ".substitute( expand("#"._cnr.":p:h"),
\ "c:\\cygwin", "~", "g"
I am partly using this exercise as a prompt to get to know vim
scripting better. Could someone please advise on what might be the
problem, and where I can dig up more about its resolution?
Thanks.
