Hi Ti,
I've removed the mapping that was misusing the default vim <C-R> behaviour.
I've reworked your code to the function below.
When I now do:
:call SRT_CorrectNames()
- I see my input list transformed to a joined line with \| between the words
- I see that I move to my file where I want to do substitution.
- I now get an error on the substitute
E486: pattern not found : \c\<\(<C-R>0\)\>
Any idea why pattern isn't found?
function! SRT_CorrectNames()
:sp input.txt
:%s/$/\\|/
:%j!
":s/..$
execute "normal! \<end>xx"
"0y$
let @0 = getline(1)
di 0
"
:wincmd w
%s/\c\<\(<C-R>0\)\>/\u&/g
" " substitute across the entire file (":%s/")
" " ignoring case ("\c")
" " a word must start here to match ("\<")
" " start the list of alternatives ("\(")
" " use control+R followed by zero
" " to include the word-list joined by \|
" " that we yanked previously
" " close the list of alternatives ("\)")
" " ensure that the word ends here ("\>")
" " and replace it with ("/")
" " the next letter uppercased ("\u")
" " the text we captured ("&")
" " and do all replacements on the line ("/g")
"
"This assumes that your input list is all just whole words, no funky
"regexp metachars (periods, backslashes, asterisks, or
"open-square-brackets come to mind).endfunction
endfunction
Rgds,
Jeri
