Hi everyone,
I am trying to write a simple vim script that takes an "input" from a
command line, and sets it to a variable, and then use that variable
throughout my script.
For example, I am trying to type something in the command line, and
take that and set it to a variable (in this case "name"), and then I
am trying to delete all the lines that don't contain my variable.

function! SelectBeam()
  call inputsave()
  let name = input('Enter Beam #: ')
  call inputrestore()
  :g!/execute . name/d
endfunction

what should I do for the "name" to be recognized as a variable that I
inputted in the command line, and NOT as the word "name"

thanks,
RB
