description

This plugin intends to provide facilities to manage sets of files. For example : . to create files from visited directory trees and files . to apply Vim commands on opened files In fact, it autorizes files and dirs manipulation in many ways As this plugin can manage many parameters, i decided to put these parameters in an ini file. Doing so allows you to deal with many mass treatments. In this ini file, you can specify . a set of root dirs which trees will be visited. For Each root dir, you can   define other parameters you estimate useful . Parameters that contain strings to be written in the outfile :   . at begining and end of the file (can be connect string for command     files)   . entering and going out the root dirs   . entering and going out the visited dirs   . before and after the files found   These parameters can contain vim commands (between {{...}}) so you can do   whatever you want with the file names . You also have parameters that define   . a wildcard to filter the files   . a vim command to apply to the files found     This command may be written in the iniFile but may also be passed as a     parameter of the Walk command. If one command is written in the ini file     and another is passed to the Walk command, the inifile one is     overwritten by the parameter     If you want a result to be written in the outfile, this result may be     written in a register (cf help)   . the name of the outfile You've got a complete example of ini file (example.ini) that can be used to see how this plugin reacts. You just have to modify <SourceDir> and <OutFile> parameter. Other iniFile examples have been put in the package : . One is to generate a tag file with the names of the files found (exTagGen) . Another is to generate a file to prepare a syntax file to color the names   of the files found (to be used after exTagGen) (exColTagGen)   This is not very useful for source files but may be interesting to manage   simple text files with cross references . The last is to generate a directory tree (good for CDs' TOC) (exTreeGen) Features WGoIniDir     : Change the current dir to the inifiles dir. This is to ease                 manipulation of inifiles WSetIniFile   : Initialise the inifile global variable WAddIniFile   : Add the filename passed to the inifile global variable WEditIniFile  : edits the inifile which name in passed. If this file is                 empty, it is initialized with the content of "skeleton.ini" Walk          : launch the action, taking the inifiles wich names are                 written in the inifile global variable. Walk accepts an optional                 parameter that contains a vim command to be applied on the                 files found. A powerful way of using this is to define                 user-commands (:help user-commands) There is other ways to launch the walk operation : you can call the walk function that way : :call Walk(cmd,inifile) All the arguments must be provided (with no completion). :call Walk("",iniFile) You can write more than one ini files in the "i" register and type :call Walk("","") or :call Walk(cmd,"") Note : if you use the windows way of calling directories (with \), you must be careful : you have to write :call Walk(cmd,'D:\my\directory\myIniFile.ini') or :call Walk(cmd,"D:\\my\\directory\\myIniFile.ini") Note2: This plugin may be difficult to understand at first glance. Don't hesitate to ask me if you need some more explanation... Advertising : Have you heard of this other funny script ? If you find this script  too serious, try this other one : http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=800 With this script you'll be able to MixCase like the best HaRÐco®É mI×CaSE mAs+êR and make your coding very new style ;-)

install details

Warning : this plugin uses python It is made of four files : Walk.vim, Walk.py, FicIni.py and walk.txt. The .vim file is to be dropped in the plugins directory, the .txt in the doc directory and the .py in a directory declared in the python path by a little > let $PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH . "/MyDirectory/Python" in your .vimrc you also have an .ini file examples (example.ini, exTagGen.ini, exColTagGen.ini and exTreeGen) and a skeleton for .ini files (skeleton.ini). These files are to be dropped in an inifiles directory (you decide). Skeleton.ini is used by the WEditIniFile command. To use the examples, you'll have to edit them to change the <SourceDir> and the <OutFile> parameter To ease the edition of the ini files, you have to init another variable in your .vimrc ($WALKINIDIR): > let $WALKINIDIR = "MyDirectory/iniFiles" To init the help tags, start Vim and do either :helptags ~/.vim/doc (for unix) or :helptags ~\vimfiles\doc (for MSWindows) to rebuild the tags file. Do ":help add-local-help" for more details. NOTE: FicIni.py provides a class to parse xml ini files (details in FicIni.py)
