Thanks in advance.
I saw you already took an extensive answer from Jürgen, but you could make your own function to work, by simple using "cd", to change directory and then let vim do the rest, without using extra functions. To make your function a little bit more robust, you can use a try/catch to see if vim can change to that directory, or you can use for the same purpose the isdirectory() vim function to see if the directory actual exists, so you can gracefully handle an error, like: function! VS() try cd ~/public_html/jeditux.home/vim_sessions/ catch /^Vim\%((\a\+)\)\=:E344/ echo "Caught an exception\nVIM EXCEPTION: ".v:exception return 1 endtry let ans = input('Session name: ', '', 'file') execute ':source '.ans endfunction Regards, Agathoklis. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
