While I don't know off the top of my head how to coerce :vim to do this, I'd likely populate the arglist with everything :args **/*.md and then either wipe the buffers you don't want: :argdo g/beta:/bwipe or remove them from the arg list :argdo g/beta:/argd % depending on which you prefer. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
