Re: How can I pass user input value to vimgrep?

Actually backward/forward-slash, space were needed and the script was not
working without them.
Finally I decided to put them in their own places. However I changed my
script a little and it is working as expected.
Here is it:

:menu Edit.Find\ in\ Files :<Esc>:<Esc>:call Find_in_Files() <Cr>

function Find_in_Files()

" -----------------------raw method-----------------
" :vimgrep /GNU/ C:\CodeBlocks\TDM-GCC-64\include\*.txt
" :cw
" --------------------------------------------------

let what2find = inputdialog("search term", "", "cancel pressed")
let directory = browsedir("Browse the directory","")
let filetype = inputdialog("filetype", "", "cancel pressed")
let forwardslash = "/"
let space = " "

if has("win32") || has("win16") || has("win64")
" ========== MS Windows ===========
let wildcard = "\\*."
elseif has("macunix") || has("unix") || has("mac") || has("os2") ||
has("beos")
" ========== Linux/OS-X/Unix ===========
let wildcard = "\/*."
endif

if what2find != "" && what2find != "cancel pressed" && directory != ""
&& filetype != ""

" port to test whether the nested strings are
working or not

" echo forwardslash . what2find . forwardslash . space .
directory . wildcard . filetype

:execute "vimgrep /" . what2find . forwardslash . space .
fnameescape(directory) . wildcard . filetype
:cw

else
" process if user press okay
if what2find != "cancel pressed" && directory != "cancel pressed"
&& filetype != "cancel pressed"

:execute "vimgrep /" . what2find . forwardslash . space .
fnameescape(directory) . wildcard . filetype
:cw

endif
endif
endfunction

I am still looking for an improvement suggestion so that it can search the
directory recursively, and more interestingly I want to look into the
extension-less files like C++'s 'iostream' etc, and Linux created text file
that does not have extension unless I give one.
