Really? :help `= says following: *`=* You can have the backticks expanded as a Vim expression, instead of an external command, by using the syntax `={expr}` e.g.: > :e `=tempname()` The expression can contain just about anything, thus this can also be used to avoid the special meaning of '"', '|', '%' and '#'. Names are to be separated with line breaks. When the result is a |List| then each item is used as a name. Line breaks also separate names. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
