Re: delete buffers matching pattern

[Tim Chase]

Is there a way to delete all buffers matching a certain pattern?

For example, suppose I just read in all files in a directory and this is my buffer list:

1 "a.txt"
2 "b.txt"
3 "1.exe"
4 "2.exe"
5 "c.txt"
6 "3.exe"
7 "d.txt"

I want to do something like ":bdelete *.exe".

The following seems to do the trick for me:

        :bufdo if bufname("%")=~'.exe$' | bdel | endif

or its case-insensitive cousin

        :bufdo if bufname("%")=~?'.exe$' | bdel | endif


HTH,
