Hi,
I wrote this snippet:
"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fun! Ffunchdr()
let date = strftime( "%F" )
put='/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/'
put='/**'
put=' * desc'
put=' *'
put=' *'
put=' *'
put=' * Created: ' . date . '
put=' *'
put=' * parameter:
put=' * parameter:
put=' * parameter:

put=' * parameter:
put=' *'
put=' * result 0 - Success, -1 - Failure'
put=' *'
put=' */'
?desc
endfun
command! Funchdr :call Ffunchdr()
This should give nme the header comment for function definitions in C.
My problem seems to be the "?desc" command at the end.
It /should/ move the cursor onto the "desc" keyword right in the
beginning of the comment block.
But it move the cursor to here:
* desc
^
|
cursor position
My """analysis""" (a too big word...) of the problem is: "?" is still
waiting for input. I tried
?desc<CR>
instead, but now "?" tries to find "desc<CR>" literally and did not
find it.
There seem to be an exception of the "type the commands as you would
do normally"-rule here...but what is the rule to recognize that the
current situation is an exception and what is the solution?
Thank you very much in advance for any help ! :)
Have a nice weekend!

What you're using is a "searching range" (as in ":?desc" from the keyboard).
It positions the cursor on the first nonblank in the matched line.
To use a "search command" (as in "?desc" from the keyboard) in an Ex-command
line, use ":normal":
normal ?desc
see
:help :range
:help :normal
Best regards,

Hi Tony,
:O) thank you,Tony !:O)
execute "normal ?desc\<CR>"
will do the job and it seems, that a final
execute "normal cw" on the found "desc" cannot be done correctly,
since the command is not finished (which it should eb according to
the :help normal text).
Have a nice weekend!

"normal cw" is not finished since the c (change) commands needs to be told
_to_ what you want to change the replaced word. What you can do instead (IIUC)
is "normal diw" (delete inner word) followed by "startinsert!". Note that
"startinsert[!]" only makes sense as the last statement of the script (because
insert-mode will be delayed until then).
Have a nice weekend too.
Best regards,
Tony.
Hi Tony,
...the "normal diw"+startinsert!-trick works nice !
Thanks a lot -- such little helpers like the now
finally working Function-header-function() are the
_real_ stuff helping one to speed up the daily work --
and of course the helping hands, which make the helper-function
work ... :O)
Happy VIMming!

BTW, instead of all those "put" statements, wouldn't it be simpler to have
your template as a separate file, and use ":r filename" to insert it after the
cursor?
Best regards,
Tonoy.
