Hello, under Ubuntu and Vim 7.2, the following cript
(from http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Open_a_web-browser_with_the_URL_in_the_current_line) has issues with certain URLs. If I try to open, for example, http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=974, the script adds an extra \ between php and ?, yielding an error message from the server as it can't find the correct page. The trouble lies in this line: exec ':silent !firefox ' . "\"" . line . "\"" If I converted {"\"" . line . "\""} into just { . line} the script works, but is no longer protected by quotes. I realize that there also is this line: let line = escape (line, "#?&;|%") But what damage would be created by taking the ? out? Could someone help me to figure out how to change the line so that the URL doesn't break while preserving the quotes' protection? Thanks! David "let $PATH = $PATH .
