If I rephrase my question for non python users:
How can I write a vim command, that puts fuloowing five characters in
register '0'
single_quite, double_quote, escape, carriage_return, tab
The escaped python string or above five characters would be.
'\'"\x1b\n\t' ( or "'\"\x1b\n\t" )
I came up with following python function to set a register to an
arbitrar string.
The only thing that I do is to escape the double quote character.
However as I don't know vim scripting well enough I don't know whether
this will be sufficient for all weird characters, that might show up.
def setreg(regname, val):
""" sets register regname to string val
all it does is replace " with \"
and use the 'let' command to set a register
"""
val = val.replace('"',r'\"')
vim.command('let @%s = "%s"' % (regname, val))
def uppercase_a(regname):
""" sample command to show the use of setreg() """
reg_a = vim.eval('@' + regname)
reg_a = reg_a.replace('a', 'A')
setreg('a', reg_a)
With above python function I could now do
:py setreg('a', 'ABC"\'\tDEF\nGHI')
and register a would contain the string as specified in python.
Should this do the job or does anybody see potential improvements?
I think that should be fine.. test if it works with unicode text?
I'm not quite sure why you want to set a register contents, typically
you want to put register contents somewhere, so if you're using this
python code, why not have it skip the step and put the text where
you need it, e.g. in a buffer?
