I set directory=/tmp/ and the swapfile used is > /tmp/body.swp . That's the problem. If you set the swapfile to always be written to a fixed directory, there will be collisions. If 'directory' starts with . (as in the default), Vim will attempt to create the swapfile in the same directory as the editfile. There will be no need to "create" the directory since it already contains the file you're editing, and for the same reason it should be writable. This directory doesn't exist as the path is in fact mapped to a database (see http://www.raphinou.com/radiant.vim/ , I'll post a new release today). However, it works fine when I create the directory. Thanks for your help on this! Raph PS: I saw after sending my previous mail I had mistakenly done a 'Reply' rather than 'Reply all'.

swapfile name
Hi, When opening a file, is there a way to tell vim which name to use for the swapfile? I'm writing a little vim config file to edit a CMS' content in a DB. Each page has a parts named 'body', which the script makes available through :Radiant edit pages/Home Page/body or, for another page: :Radiant edit pages/Home Page/Articles/First Post/body The problem is that vim is using the same swapfile due to the last part of the path being body in both cases. I see 2 solutions to this problem: either use no swapfile (resetting swapfile), or specify another name for the swapfile, with a preference for the latter. I can specify the directory where to put swapfiles, but can I specify a name for the swapfile? Or can I set a swapfile directory specific to a buffer? Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you try returning the matches without the backslash? I'm 99% sure I tried it, but your question is seeding doubts :-) You can also try using "customlist", then Vim will not filter the results. The backslash may confuse the filtering. I did that indeed (but from further tests, the following approach should also work when using custom in place of customlist), and only return the part after the last space. Eg, when completing :Radiant pages/Home Page/A the returned list is ["Page/About","Page/Articles"] I'll post a notice when I get a satisfying result.

complete=custom for path including spaces
Hi, I'm writing a command with a custom completion, and it works fine, except when there's a space in the "path" to complete. For example, without spaces everything works: :Radiant edit pages/ho will complete to :Radiant edit pages/home/ which I can further complete: :Radiant edit pages/home/fi to :Radiant edit pages/home/first-post/ If there's a space, it doesn't work: :Radiant edit pages/Ho is completed to :Radiant edit pages/Home\ Page/ But now, this :Radiant edit pages/Home\ Page/A doesn't complete it, although my completion function returns what is expected as completion: pages/Home\ Page/About pages/Home\ Page/Articles What am I missing here?

Re: autocomplete from BufReadCmd
vim comandline completion if programmable: :helpgrep -complete=file :helpgrep -complete=custom This is what I need. However, I hoped to be able to define it for standard vim commands such as split, edit, etc Isn't there a way to specify a custom completion if the filename starts with radiant/ , like I defined the autocommands for filename starting with radiant/ ? Examples of what I want to achieve: :split radiant/p -> :split radiant/pages/ :split radiant/l -> :split radiant/layouts/ :split radiant/ -> cycles through pages,layouts,snippets :split radiant/pages/ -> :split radiant/pages/Home\ Page This should also work with edit, vsplit, etc If you want to see the complete code of the vim script, it is available at http://www.raphinou.com/radiant.vim/ Thanks Raph -- Web database: http://www.myowndb.com Free Software Developers Meeting: http://www.fosdem.org
autocomplete from BufReadCmd
Hi,
I've written a BufReadCmd so that when I edit files starting with
radiant/ (I am working with http://www.radiantcms.org ), it lets me
edit a certain field of a certain row determined by the path following
the radiant/prefix:
:au BufReadCmd radiant/* ruby ReadFile( VIM::evaluate( "expand('')"))
For example, this command
:split radiant/pages/Home\ Page/articles/First\ Post/body
lets me edit the body of the First post located in the section
acticles which is itself under the Home Page.
Similarly
:split radiant/layouts/1
lets me edit the layout with id 1.
As my first example shows, the length of the path to enter can grow,
and I would like to add autocompletion like there is when editing a
file on the filesystem. The problem is that I didn't find any
documentation for that. Does anyone of you have a pointer to
documentation on how to implement this?
Raph

Re: character ^@ in place of new lines
Hi,
The extra character is the hex 0 character, ga returns
<<00>> 0, Hex 00, Octal 000.
Just in case someone else get the same problem, I've corrected it by
repalcing this line in my script:
VIM::Buffer.current.append(0, content)
by this:
VIM::command('1')
VIM::command("norm i"+content)

HI,
I'm writing a BufReadCmd to read content from a database. It works

new lines are correct in the data written in the DB. I guess this is a
problem with encoding, but I have everyting in UTF-8: database,
fileencoding (I set it at the start of BufReadCmd), encoding, and (I
think) terminal (xterm -u8).
Does any one have a hint? Searching the web for these characters
wasn't very helpful
