Hi, this is for Vim7.3.. Looking up docs for line(), it says that
arg='.' will give you cursor position, and 'v' will give you beginning
of visual selection when in visual mode, and '.' will give you the end
of it. For column, col() should be used, but there's no 'v' arg for it.
Yeah, I remember, I wondered about it too. I even thought about creating
a patch, but didn't so far, because you can easily get the column using
the getpos() function together with the marks '< for start and '> for end
of visual selection. For my plugin NrrwRgn, I use getpos("'>") for the line
and virtcol("'>") for the virtual column of the end of the visual selection
(and the same for the start of the visual selection).
So, how can I do this? Let's say I have a char-wise selection from
column 10 to 20, how can I get numbers 10 and 20? -ak
echo "start at line " getpos("'<")[1] " column: " virtcol("'<")
echo "end at line " getpos("'>")[1] " column: " virtcol("'>")

Christian
Thanks, that's great! -ak
