Hi Marius!
thank you for your reply and the script !
That's far more that I ever want ! :)
I was simply for an aquivalent to
printf( "This is my text!" )
but instead of C and printing via stdout it should be
vim script and the text should go right to the current cursor
position.
That's all!
Keep hacking!
