grrr!
So how do I escape the Tab?
I've tried
IIRC, the relevant setting is 'wildcharm' (q.v.).
Thank you for the reply Tony.
I did the following:
set wildcharm=<Tab>
" in the same file as the code I have included.
" sourced the file again, but I still have the
" problem.
My brain has still not grokked this problem. I've even tried (from
the example in the helpfile):
set wildcharm=<C-Z>
" with code changes to
execute 'e ' a:dir . '/\<C-Z>'
" or
execute 'e ' a:dir . '/<C-Z>'
and<blush> I get a file name<C-Z>.
Not what I want - obviously.
thanks again
Ah, sorry, I missed that thing about escaping the tab.
See
:help expr-string
:help literal-string
Within single quotes, every character is taken literally, even a
backslash, except that two single quotes mean one.
You should have used double quotes with backslash-escaping, like this
(referring to your original post):
exec 'e' a:dir . "/\t"
or
execute 'e ' . a.dir . "/\<Tab>"
HTH,
Tony.

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #13: SLOBOL
SLOBOL is best known for the speed, or lack of it, of its compiler.
Although many compilers allow you to take a coffee break while they
compile, SLOBOL compilers allow you to travel to Bolivia to pick the
coffee. Forty-three programmers are known to have died of boredom
sitting at their terminals while waiting for a SLOBOL program to
compile. Weary SLOBOL programmers often turn to a related (but
infinitely faster) language, COCAINE.
