Apparently the "tabpagemax" doesn't get set until after Vim has opened the args in each tab, so this doesn't work for n>10. So you have to do the splitting after changing 'tabpagemax'. I had better luck with this $ vim -c 'set tabpagemax=50' -c 'args dir1/*' -c 'argdo tabe %' -c 'tabdo exec "vsp ".substitute(substitute(expand("%"),"dir1", "dir2", ""), "/L", "/A", "")' It does open one extra window, but seems to work better than the previous one. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
