Passing parameters to Ruby within vimscript...

[Sonny Chee]

Hey Guys,

I was thinking of invoking Ruby script within a vimscript. Is there a way to pass parameters directly into the Ruby script?

For example, I notice that the VIM::Buffers object has methods for accessing lines of text with the [] operator... .but nothing for accessing the selected range of text (ie: between '< and '>). Writing the parameters out to a file for reading by the Ruby script seems kinda kludgie...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Typically you use the vim API to get values from vim. Eg

let g:xoo= "value"
ruby <<
xoo = vim.eval('g:xoo')
END

or the like

Excellent, thanks for the prompt response Marc.

In case anyone reads this thread, the exact invocation is:

xoo = VIM::evaluate('g:xoo')
