Re: what is vim's printf, as it is in c

sorry no. 

I was trying to print sth to my text by using external command line, which was

.!printf "%s\n" 'hello world'

but what I got is 'a.shs'

yeah my text is 'a.sh'. so a '%' means the editing text? 

I don't know what is wrong with my vim. so...

From insert mode, you can type:

   <C-R>=printf('%s', 'foo')

And upon hitting enter, "foo" will appear after the cursor in the
current buffer. Is that the sort of thing you're trying to do?

Note that "<C-R>" is a literal Ctrl-R in the above example.
