Re: tar all files in buffer preserving path
This seems like a pretty sweet tip. It would be much appreciated if you
could post a fleshed-out version of this tip, along with some possible
use cases on the vim.org tips page.
Thanks!

Eric Smith wrote: Yeah, thanks it works like this too: bufdo !tar -vrf /path/to/archive.tar %:p How do I avoid the "Press ENTER or type command to continue" prompt after each file is processed? use ":set nomore" before the bufdo command, and ":set more" if you want to restore normal behaviour after it; or else use ":silent bufdo (etc.)". see :help 'more' :help 'silent' Best regards, Tony.
Re: tar all files in buffer preserving path
Yeah, thanks it works like this too:
bufdo !tar -vrf /path/to/archive.tar %:p
How do I avoid the
"Press ENTER or type command to continue"
prompt after each file is processed?

Try (untested)
bufdo exe '!tar -vrf /path/to/archive.tar' expand('%:p')
see ":help expand()"

I want to make a tar file that includes the full pathname.
When I go
:bufdo ! tar -vrf archive_with_full_path.tar %
The `%' does not expand the full path so I do not get the path
information into the tar file.
How could I best achieve what I want?
Try (untested)
bufdo exe '!tar -vrf /path/to/archive.tar' expand('%:p')

tar all files in buffer preserving path
I want to make a tar file that includes the full pathname. When I go :bufdo ! tar -vrf archive_with_full_path.tar % The `%' does not expand the full path so I do not get the path information into the tar file. How could I best achieve what I want? -- Eric Smith
