Re: redir and glob

I want to create a list of files that my project is using. This list will be stored in a file and subsequently will be used by cscope.

Here is what I have so far:

function! BuildFileList()
  s:dir_list = ['dir1', 'dir2', 'dir3']
  s:output_file = 'cscope.files'
  redir! > s:output_file
  for dir in s:dir_list
    glob(dir.'*.[ch]')
  endfor
redir END
endfunction

silent call BuildFileList

I'm getting the following errors when I execute this function:
E190: Cannot open "s:output_file" for writing
E486: Pattern not found: dir."*.[ch]"

Obviously there is something wrong with the way I use redir and glob, but I can't get my finger on it. Does anybody know what am I doing wrong?

Any help is really appreciated.

Redir requires an actual file name, not a variable name. Use :execute. 

execute "redir! > " . s:variable

Also, unless the "dir" ends in a slash, you will end up with the pattern right next to the directory name without the separator. Stick a slash in there to see if it helps. 

dir . "/*.[ch]"

You didn't ask this, but unless your files end in [ch] (and not just ch), you may be out of luck.
