Hi,
I am rather new to the python scripting module of vim.
I wanted to write a small test script, which
is analyzing all text, that I yanked into named buffers. (not sure if
'named-buffer' is the correct vi term)
Small example
buf_names = 'abcd'
for buf_name in buf_names:
yank_buffer = vim.?????('a') # don't know this command
yank_buf_len = len(yank_buf) # not sure if len() would be right
print('yank buffer %s contains %d characters' %
(buf_name, yank_buf_len))
I found
vim.buffers , but this addresses the edit-buffers and not the 'yank-buffers'
Thanks a lot in advance.
I think this should work:
text = vim.eval("@a")
print len(text)
They are called registers, not yank buffers, and to get their value in
script, see :h @r
-ak
