I need to open the file at the particular line and column.
This command
$ vim '+call cursor($line,$column)' '$file'
does it, however it treats 'column' as byte offset, and not character offset,
which in case of utf-8 causes cursor to be placed to the left of that character
location.
Is there an equivalent cursor() command that would take character location?
vim +123 foobar.txt
opens file foobar.txt at line 123
42|
moves the cursor to screen column 42
See respectively:
:help +cmd
:help bar
So you could do (untested)
vim +$line +normal\ ${column}\| $file
Note the backslash escapes to avoid splitting parameters after +normal
and to avoid regarding the bar as a redirection. The {} around the word
column are there to avoid regarding the backslash-escaped bar as part of
the variable name. I'm assuming a shell similar to bash, which is what
I'm using.
Best regards,
Tony.
