Hello David,

thanks for your answer, but it is not for my question. Sorry if it
wasn't clear enough.
I want to know how I start the command 'strfile' when I edit my sigfile.
I have this not functional snippet in my .vimrc

autocmd BufWritePost $HOME/sigs/* exe "!/usr/bin/strfile"

and the errormessage is

:!/usr/bin/strfile
No input file name
strfile [-iorsx] [-c char] sourcefile [datafile]

shell returned 1

So how I get the filename commited to the command?

TIA Michael
