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

you know in my code lots of are the same in pattern.

So what I want to do is to write a simple command there in case the pattern would be changed.

so system redirect is not my first choice. 

then I turned into external command in vim. but it's not gonna work. 

then I turned into vim internal command, and found that I don't know it very much.

googled a lot and trying a lot but still failed. I send a mail to this mail list. so... 

forgive me if I ... I'm not a native speaker. you're better than me. 

it's too late for me now.  

I'll try yours tomorrow. 

and thanks very much for your responses and such warm heart solutions.

I think I need to learn more about buffer usage in vim. 

thanks

redirect command and error to file

read file:

:r file

However then you can also use system, piping etc.

To understand the printf issue do:

:e NEW_FILE (Yes, I want you to open a buffer which is named NEW_FILE
sot hat you recognize this word easily)

Then try all of these:

:.!echo "%s\n" 'hello world'
:.!echo "%:ps\n" 'hello world'
:.!echo "\%s\n" 'hello world'
:.!echo "\s\n" 'hello world'

echo is just as printf. But it echoes arguments only - it doesn't
process them.

Now it you should understand what you're still doing wrong.
