scripting language for immediate use

[rameo]

Would it be possible in a next release to use vim scripting language
without putting it in menu.vim or .vimrc?
For immediate, temporary scripting.
p.e.in a little window beside the vim window.

This gives the possibility to do little things very quickly without
the use of macros.
p.e.

for i in range (3,30)
print (put) "2**".i."=".2**i
endfor


output:

2**3 = 8
2**4 = 16
...
etc

You can already do this.

Well, if you type exactly

:for i in range(3,30)
put ='2**' . i . ' = '.printf('%-10.0f',pow(2,i))
endfor

That's exactly what will appear, in a few lines at the bottom of the vim "screen". Admittedly, it will disappear when you press enter after the endfor, but you can see it again if you open the "command-line-window", see
:h command-line-window

What about using the ':help Ex-mode' (for example with gQ).

Best,

One can already do such things very quickly, just using the existing command mode prompt. If you type exactly (ending each line with enter)

:for i in range(3,30)
put ='2**' . i . ' = '.printf('%-10.0f',pow(2,i))
endfor

it will run there and then. You could check out the command-line-window, too, see :h cmdwin

Sorry guys, the new google groups web interface appeared to have lost my first post; it did not show when I reviewed the thread. Cursing, I retyped it, then the first one popped back. Perhaps some interaction with my browser cache; I've noticed that when I uncheck "Let pages override these settings" in my colour preferences, some threads that have had new replies show as the colour for a visited link, which in the old google groups indicated I'd read it up to date, and was a more reliable indication than the "new of" legend.

:call setline('.', map(range(3,30), 'printf("2**%d = %-10.0f", v:val, pow(2, v:val))'))

Would you try my 'Rcode' plugin[1]? You can type the code in a temporary
small buffer and run it.

Q: Why is top posting so bad?

Thank you all.
Thanks also for the Rcode plugin.
I'll check it out.
