Not that I know of. But you can easily script it yourself.
com! -bang -nargs=* -range -complete=file Read :<line1>,<line2>call
\<sid>Read(<q-bang>, <f-args>)
fun! <sid>Read(bang, cmd, ...) range
if a:0 == 0
let args = [0,-1]
else
if (a:1 !~ '^\d\+$' && a:1 !~ '^\d\+$') || len(a:000) > 2
echohl Error
echom "Usage: Read[!] file|command [0 ...]"
echohl Normal
return
else
let args = [(a:1 - 1), (a:2 - 1)]
endif
endif
if a:bang == '!'
let a=split(system(a:cmd), "\n")
else
let a=readfile(a:cmd)
endif
let _c = getpos('.')
exe append(a:firstline, a[args[0] : args[1]])
call setpos('.', _c)
endfun
Use :[count]Read filename 1 100
to input the first 100 records below line [count] (default current line)
Use :[count]Read! command 20 50
to input the records 20 till 50 below line [count]
If you leave out the last 2 parameters, it will input all records found).
regards,
Christian
