I've read the help for global-variable, internal-variables, and normal!, but still can't find how to do a replace. Consider the following "hello world" script, called ~/test.vim: ================================= let g:myvar="MyVariableText" normal! sg:myvar ================================= In a regular file, when I do this: :sou ~/test.vim It replaces the current character with the literal "g.myvar" instead of "MyVariableText". How do I get it to use the *value* of the variable instead of the *name* of the variable?
