Re: Take out current line and send to xclip how to ?

If you just want to get some text from your Vim buffer into the
clipboard, you can just yank it into the * (X11 primary selection) or +
(X11 clipboard) register. For instance, to yank the current line:

"*yy

...or...

"+yy

If you want to pipe text to an arbitrary external program, you can use
the ! command or one of its variants. This removes the text from the
file, filters it through a command, and then puts the filtered output
back in its place. With xclip in particular, you could do something like

:.!xclip; xclip -o

if you want the text in your Vim buffer to remain unchanged. There may
be a better way to do that that I'm not aware of though. See ":h filter"
for info on the ! commands.
