Dynamically creating an autocmd group

:ver

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Dec 30 2018 14:48:55)

MS-Windows 32-bit GUI version with OLE support

Included patches: 1-662

I have the following augroup:

augroup MyTest

    autocmd!

    autocmd FocusGained  * :if has('clipboard') | echomsg "has clipboard" | endif

    autocmd User * :echomsg "anything"

augroup END

I want to be able to dynamically create additional entries in this augroup based on which version of Vim I am running.  I would prefer not to just use:

if v:version < 7.1

   augroup ..

   augroup END

else

   augroup ..

   augroup END

endif

Since I am checking multiple things and multiple versions and don't want to repeat the code over and over again.

I have tried some simple things:

:exec "augroup dave \ autocmd! \ autocmd User Test echomsg 'it worked' \ augroup END"

:au dave

--- Autocommands ---

Press ENTER or type command to continue

exec "augroup dave | autocmd! | autocmd User Test echomsg 'it worked' | augroup END"

exec "augroup dave \| autocmd! \| autocmd User Test echomsg 'it worked' \| augroup END"

None of them seem to work, just can't get that syntax correct.

If someone can help that would be great.

The syntax must also support the if statement:

    autocmd FocusGained  * :if has('clipboard') | echomsg "has clipboard" | endif

TIA,

David
