I'm having a mental block, how can I wrap a string via
substitute() ?
The following seems to do the trick for me:
echo substitute(str, '[[:print:]]\{,10}', '&\n', 'g')
This nearly works, but is doubling existing line breaks.
The application is this :version pretty-fier:
function! Str_wrap(str, len)
return substitute(a:str, '[[:print:]]\{,'.a:len.'}','&\n','g')
endfunction
function! Version()
redir @x
silent! version
redir END
" add some line breaks between major sections
let @x = substitute(@x, '\n\([+\-]arabic\)', '\n\n\1', '')
let @x = substitute(@x, '\n\(\s\+system\)', '\n\n\1', '')
let @x = substitute(@x, '\n\(Compilation\)', '\n\n\1', '')
let @x = substitute(@x, '\n\(Linking\)', '\n\n\1', '')
" wrap
echo Str_wrap(@x, 70)
endfunction
command! Version call Version()
What about this?
redir! > version.txt
silent version
redir END
new version.txt
setlocal textwidth=70

I just tested it. It will write (as version.txt in the current directory,
overwritten if existing) the "beautified" text ready for upload to your
"Release Notes" page on sourceforge. (I think it won't work on Tiny and Small
builds.) ;-)
Just paste the above code as a script (e.g.
~/.build/vim/vim70/beautyversion.vim). If you replace "new" by "edit" at line
4, you can (IIUC) use something like
version.txt: src/gvim.exe
src/gvim -u NONE -i NONE -N -S beautyversion.vim
as a makefile rule to produce the beautified text in batch mode.
Best regards,
Tony.
