When I echom something from the command line using system():
:echom system("echo \"testing\"")
I get a ^@ (null) at the end of the result:
testing^@
If I instead use echo, which doesn't translate unprintable characters but
displays them:
:echo system("echo \"testing\")
I get the result of the command line command with an added newline:
testing
This of course normally makes sense at the command line, but when I'm
returning output taken from the command line as a Vim message I don't want
an unnecessary newline. I can eliminate it by returning the first item in a
List made from split() used on the return value from system() with "\n" as
the pattern (or perhaps by substitute-ing newlines with ''), but is there a
simpler way to do this?
Thanks!
Ben
