Re: Best way to launch a URL from within VIM

I use this :

" Url
function! helper#job_out_cb(self, data) abort "{{{
let g:idx  += 1
let g:data .= string(g:idx)
let g:data .= a:data
let self  = a:self
try
let data  = remove(self.lines, -1) . a:data
catch /.*/
echomsg 'begin'.string(a:data).'end'
endtry
let lines = split(a:data, "\n", 1)
" echomsg string(lines)
call extend(self.lines, lines)
endfunction  "}}}
function! helper#job_exit_cb(self, data) abort   "{{{
let a:self.running = 0
let a:self.error   = a:data != 0
let self   = a:self
let g:self = self
endfunction  "}}}
function! helper#job_cb(fn, job, ch, data)  "{{{
call call(a:fn, [a:job, a:data])
endfunction  "}}}
fun! helper#openurl(...) "{{{
  let cmd_browse = 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler '
  let url_pat = '\w\+:\/\{2}[^ ''()]\+'
  let url     = matchstr(getline(line('.')), url_pat)
  if url != ''
let g:job = job_start(cmd_browse.url, {
\ 'out_cb'  : function('helper#job_cb', ['helper#job_out_cb' , {} ]),
\ 'exit_cb' : function('helper#job_cb', ['helper#job_exit_cb', {} ]),
\ 'out_mode': 'raw'
\})
  else
echomsg 'sorry, no url found on this cursor''line'
  endif
endfunction "}}}

Bingo! We have a winner! gx does exactly what I want. Thanks.
