Raph IIUC, you can't specify the swapfile name; but (again, IIUC) the default is to write the swapfile in the same directory as the editfile: so you would have pages/Home Page/.body.swp and pages/Home Page/Articles/First Post/.body.swp which are different files by virtue of being located in diferent directories. The swapfile used is .body.swp , it doesn't seem to create the directories. 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'.

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/Atab the returned list is [Page/About,Page/Articles] I'll post a notice when I get a satisfying result.

On mine (which is an AZERTY fr-BE layout) the apostrophe is lowercase 4 while the backtick is AltGr+ยต (i.e. the Greek letter mu with AltGr modifier) followed by space.

Re: autocomplete from BufReadCmd
snip 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/pTAB - :split radiant/pages/ :split radiant/lTAB - :split radiant/layouts/ :split radiant/TAB - cycles through pages,layouts,snippets :split radiant/pages/TAB - :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
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)

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
thanks.

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('afile')))
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?
