Thanks for the reply. I still have some questions. Suppose I have the directory structure as below and this is the way it is displayed in vim.
../ island_ccu_pmu/ | hacks/ | | library_setup_boerne.tcl* | outputs/ | gen_db.tcl | island_ccu_pmu.magma-no-pg.v* | island_ccu_pmu.magma_output.sdc | pt_shell.log | setup_design* > Unfortunately, since netrw long predates vim's introduction of Lists, > its use of them isn't as prevalent as I'd wish -- and there isn't such a > list to be passed along.

It just gives the current directory, which may not be the top most (that is, base) directory shown in the tree. For example, when I go to the line for the 'hacks' directory and press 'enter', this directory gets expanded (as shown above) and b:netrw_curdir gets set to this directory. Is there a variable that gives the name and full path of the base directory? If I have the full base directory name, then I can construct the full path of the other files and directories shown below it by correctly parsing the file. BTW, I don't get anything when I do ":help b:netrw_curdir". Is there any explanation for this and similar variables somewhere? > However, you could just construct a list of filenames from the buffers' > names, using redir @a, ls!, redir END , and manipulate the resulting > text into a match/match2/match3 type of command.

But in order to compare each filename from the buffer list to the files listed in netrw window, I need to construct the complete path for each filename displayed on the netrw window. And to get the complete path, I have to parse the netrw directory listing and also have to know the base directory (full path) under which these are listed. Hence my earlier question on how to get the full path for the base dir. Also, how do I get the name of the buffers and their attributes (like active/hidden, etc)? Which variables are these stored in?
