Hi,
command! -nargs=+ -complete=file System :call System("<args>")
works fine. I though that <args> separetes arguments with a comma rather than
spaces (what does <f-args>). That's why I though that -nargs=1 is fine.
But actually the small test shows that <args> passes exactly one argument:
fun! Test(...)
echo a:0
endfun
com! -nargs=+ Test :call Test("<args>")
:Test a b c
echoes 1,
also ':Test a,b,c' echoes 1.
Thanks,
Marcin
