Maybe there's a better way, but you could do something similar to what I do when working with python code: I open a log file in a terminal, using tail -f command, then I have a shorcut in Vim that does :!python % <args> >> log.txt<CR> and I see output in the terminal without having to leave Vim. What you want to do is to just run :!grep ... >> log.txt &<CR> I think that should work.. -ak -- Python plugins for vim: outliner, todo list, project manager, calendar, expenses tracker, sortable table, and more | http://lightbird.net/pysuite/ -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
