When I write a file, save it as e.g. ~/d.dd do :grep there % It then exits back to the shell where I had launched vim and the shell then says So it adds the "Shell returned 1" line and the "Press ENTER line" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim74>vim shell returned 1 Press ENTER or type command to continue" If I press ENTER it adds these lines "(1 of 1): FINDSTR: Cannot open d.dd Press ENTER or type command to continue" that last line is in green, if I push ENTER it goes back into VIM. > Alternatively, if you don't care about using quickfix, you can write the > current buffer content to stdin and see the result only in the pop-up command > window: > > :w !findstr foo that line works > > Or, filter the buffer through findstr, replacing the buffer contents with the > result: > > :%!findstr foo yep, that does as you state I see that when the pattern is there it leaves it, and when it isn't there it wipes the buffer. so I can't get the :grep there % to work, even when the file is saved -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
