Is there a way to make gf open "some.file" from this line?
Include("/includes/some.file");
where the file is actually sitting under web server root, like
/var/www/html/includes/some.file
I tried adding "/var/www/html" to the :set path but vim will
not recognize it. /var/www/html/; was the same. Basically I'm
looking for a way to add "prefixes".
Assuming you have "/var/www/html" in your path, the following
pairing should help you out:
nnoremap <silent> gf :exec 'e ' .
findfile(substitute(expand('<cfile>'), '^/*','',''))<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <c-w>f :exec 'sp ' .
findfile(substitute(expand('<cfile>'), '^/*','',''))<cr>
The findfile() function also takes an extra parameter if you want
to refrain from munging your actual path, you could do something like
findfile(..., &path.',/var/www/html')
On the same note, would it be possible to let gf open
/var/www/html/includes/some.file
when I gf on this string
http://somehost.com/includes/some.file
or by defining a new command (say wf)?
A similar transformation could tweak the previous, something like
substitute(expand(...), '^\(http://[^/]/\)\=/*','','')
would strip off leading slashes and leading protocol+host. (that
regexp/substitute() is untested, but should be approx. correct,
save for possible needs to escape the "\" characters)
Alternatively, you could map it to <leader>gf and <leader><c-w>f
to maintain the original meanings, but create new mappings to
provide the additional functionality.
