tar all files in buffer preserving path

2006-11-22 Thread Eric Smith 

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?

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!

 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()


 Best regards,
