How to get directory list from script ?

[Marczis, Peter (NSN - HU/Budapest)]

Hi,
I would like to write a vim script which reads into a list, the directory tree…
how it is possible to get the subdirectories into a list ? (from PWD for example.)
Thanks a lot in advice.

Br,

You can read in the output of a shell command, so you can use

:r !find .

on most *nix-like OSes, or on Windows, you can do any of the
following

:r !dir /s/b
:r !dir /s/b/a "include hid/sys files
:r !tree "just subdirs
:r !tree /f "include files
:r !tree /f /a "files and ascii-tree representation

It's OS-specific, so you'd have to read up on your variant. The
"find" command is super-powerful in tuning the files returned (be
sure to read up at the man-pages), whereas the "dir"/"tree"
commands are a bit wanting in flexibility of output.

Thanks! Tim 

I believe this tip is also useful for me and my friends.

You can also play with:
echo filter(split(globpath(getcwd(), '**'), '\n'), 'isdirectory(v:val)')

It may not be the most efficient way, but it should do the trick.

Hi,
what should be the good syntax in this case ?

for item in sacks
menu ]environments.{item} echo "coool"
endfor

sacks is a list. and I would like to create a menu from this list...
but, how can I use the item variable to create the menu ?

thanks for all your trouble !

Br,
Peter.

Sorry,
by the time I found the answare for myself...

for v in vers
let command = 'menu ]environments.' .
substitute(strpart(v,3), '\', '.', "g") . ' :let $sack="' .
substitute(strpart(v,3), '\', ' ', "g") . '"<CR>'
exec command
endfor

I hope it will help to someone too...

Br,
Peter.

let items = ['hello', 'vim', 'world']
for item in items
exe 'menu environments.'.item.' :echo "'.item.'"<CR>'
endfor

to get help on 'exe':
:h :execute
