I want to convert lines like this:
value1|value2|value3
into:
def foo(x="value1"
y="value2"
z="value3")
But I ran into a problem when trying to apply this function to a range. The
range gets confused because I am appending additional lines. I solved this
problem by using the range keyword and using a:firstline, a:lastline, and a for
loop that skips every four lines.
Something like this:
This is the incomplete version because the actual problem I'm trying to solve
is slightly different, but the crux of the problem is still the same.
function! ReFormat() range
let num_lines = a:lastline - a:firstline + 1
for linenum in range(a:firstline, a:firstline + (num_lines - 1) * 4, 4)
let line = getline(linenum)
...
endfor
endfunction
Is there not some helper method that knows how to append using ranges. My
coworker said that in emacs he's able to get the current cursor position. In
vim we can get the current line '.', but if we could get the cursor position as
the range iterates, we wouldn't have to worry about the number of lines
appended.
Thanks for reading my rambling,
Eric
