Hi, I use VIM 7.4 on unix, but similar behaviour was on Windows as well.
With commands that expect file names, backticks can be used similar to unix shells: :e `echo aaa` or, assuming we have VIM variable aaa already set, we can use VIM backtick expansion : :e `=aaa` However, shell backtick expansion is more robust, for example, the following will work : :e `echo aaa`.txt while the following will not (at least not as expected): :e `=aaa`.txt Is it a bug or made on purpose for some reason?
