Hi,
I am rather new to the python scripting module of vim.
I wanted to write a small test script, which
is analyzing all text, that I yanked into named buffers. (not sure if
'named-buffer' is the correct vi term)
I think this should work:
text = vim.eval("@a")
print len(text)
They are called registers, not yank buffers, and to get their value in
script, see :h @r
-ak
Thanks a lot AK and Tony,
This helps me a lot. (also getting the nominclature right)
Is there a register for the contents of the current visual selection
(before I pressed 'y') or would I have to fetch this contents
differently (force for example a yank to a register ufront)
It might be in + or * register on unix? But a more reliable way is to
yank it into a register, you can then restore selection using gv
command: :h gv
-ak
