Re: Parse an error log and go to the line indicated as being the error?

A quick Google search ("vim errorformat ucc") turns up this wiki page:
http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Vim . It recommends

autocmd FileType uc set makeprg=C:\\UT2003\\system\\ucc\ make
autocmd FileType uc set efm=%f(%l)\ :\ %m

I do not have the environment to test that. I would use setl instead
of set, and I might even make it

autocmd FileType uc let &l:makeprg = 'C:\UT2003\system\ucc make'
autocmd FileType uc let &l:efm = '%f(%l) : %m'

(untested, of course) in order to avoid escaping the spaces and
backslashes. Besides, I am a fan of the "&l:" and related sigils.

In real life, I would have an ftplugin instead of adding autocommands
to myvimrc file, and I might even make this a compiler plugin, but
let's keep it simple for now.
