I'm trying to detect whether or not a g// command worked by checking v:errmsg. AFAICT this is almost identical to the example to the example in :help errmsg, although there it is using 'silent! next':
let v:errmsg = "" silent! g/^>/ if v:errmsg == "" silent g/^-- $/ silent g/^>/ normal 2o else normal o startinsert endif However it doesn't seem to work. Whatever I try, v:errmsg is always empty so the first part of the if statement will run. I've tried with and without the '!' and also by using normal instead of silent. Doing :echomsg v:errmsg or :messages after vim has been invoked will always be empty too. Any ideas? -Dave -- "Linux was made by foreign terrorists to take money from true US companies like Microsoft." - Some AOL'er.
