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

Thanks, following your advice finally the script started working.
Here is the changed script:


" Last Change: 2014-05-22 Thursday: 04:16:18 PM
" -----------------------Implementation of a simple feature
" -----------------------"Find in Files and Directories"
" -----------------------like Notepad++ -----------------
" -----------------------Created & Edited by Pinaki Sekhar Gupta
<appugupta007@gmail.com>------------------------
" -----------------------Licence: No licence is better than
everything-------------------------------------------



: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 = " "
let wildcard = "*."
if what2find != "" && what2find != "cancel pressed" && directory != ""
&& filetype != ""

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

" :echom "Hello, " . "world"
" Hello, world "

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

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

endif
endif
endfunction
