I wrote this function that generates toggle functions:
func! CreateToggle(name,oncode,offcode)
exec
\ "let g:" . a:name . "toggle = 0 \n" .
\ "func! " . a:name . "()\n" .
\ "if g:" . a:name . "toggle == 0\n" .
\ a:oncode . "\n" .
\ "echo \"" . a:name . " On\"\n" .
\ "else\n" .
\ a:offcode . "\n" .
\ "echo \"" . a:name . " Off\"\n" .
\ "endif\n" .
\ "let g:" . a:name . "toggle = ! g:" . a:name . "toggle
\n" .
\ "endfunc\n"
endfunc
and I use it like so:
call CreateToggle("SpellingToggle","setlocal spell
spelllang=en_us","setlocal nospell")
map ,z :call SpellingToggle()<CR>
I have a bunch of features that I toggle on and off this way. I like
it.
The only problem is that, here at work, we have two different versions
of vim, 7.2.330 and 6.3 ( from debian sarge ), and this function only
works under 7.2
I would like to make a version that works under 6.3 but I can't quite
figure it out. I can't actually figure out why it doesn't work in 6.3
short of the fact that I can't seam to define any functions a all via
execute under vim 6.3
I've boiled the issue down to this sample code:
execute "function Foo()\n echo \"foo\"\n endfunction"
call Foo()
which works fine under 7.3 but doesn't work under 6.3
So, can anyone shed any light on how I can't get this done on 6.3? Am
I missing an obvious way to dynamically create functions?
Thanks for your attention.
