Re: Q&A: MSDOS SET command gave me some of my mapped commands

Hi again Christian!

I am back with another wierdo problem.

Here is the code:

"
" Make a new filename (ie: full file name PLUS .(high_num+1)
" In other words - make a new filename with the backup number one
" higher than the highest backup number. Example A.BOB;00001
"
echo "High_num = " . high_num
let high_num = high_num + 1
echo "High_num = " . high_num
let ext = printf("%05d", high_num )
echo "High_num = " . high_num
echo "ext = " . ext
let new_path = expand("%:p") . ";" . ext
"
" Now save the file to the new file name we just made.
"
echo "new_path = " . new_path

And here is the output (I haven't included all of the output - only
from this point).

High_num = 00010
High_num = 9
High_num = 9
ext = 00009
new_path = D:\My Programs\PHP\Fix Paper Types\fixpapers.
php;00009

As you can see, "High_num" is originally set to "00010". (Actual
variable name is "high_num".) Anyway, I add one to that number and Vim
changes the number to "9". I have tried using:

let high_num += 1
and
let ++high_num <---Got an error doing this
and
let high_num++ <---Got an error doing this too
and
let high_num = high_num + 1

and I just keep getting that high_num has decremented by one. I'm using
version 9.1. Should I upgrade to a higher version of Vim? Thanks ahead
of time for responsing. I is after 2:00am here so I've got to go to
bed. Been working on this all day trying anything I could think of.

PS: If you want the source code I can zip it up and send it. Simple
script called decvers.vim. (DEC VERSion - probably should rename it
to something like Upgrade_version.vim or maybe Make_backup.vim. I'm
basing it on the old DEC 11/780 system where every time you edited a
file it made a backup of the file and add the next higher number
to the end as ";#####". Earlier version numbers are older
than the bigger version numbers.)
