Not to discount other suggestions (using glob()/etc. within Vim), but it's probably worth your while to find a workaround. Vim's not-the-kitchen-sink philosophy[1] probably prevents it from being the swiss army knife you seem to be looking for. Cygwin was the first thing I found that made Windows tolerable. I believe (but am not certain) it's installable to a USB thumb drive, if that's an option. (CoLinux is my current preference for using Linux under Windows, but that's far less likely to work under security restrictions). I know MinGW is installable as such, but don't know if it provides the range of utilities you're seeking. I've not tried Mintty, so I can't compare, but last time I was using Windows (a while ago), I liked Console2[2] as a cmd.exe replacement. -- Best, Ben H [1] see: :help design-not [2] http://console.sf.net/ -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
