edit buffer using a builtin function

[Ernie Rael]

Is there a builtin function to edit a buffer in the current window?

I use

execute string(bnr) .. 'buffer'

Anything more script oriented?

 There is no function as far as I know for this.

I use

execute string(bnr) .. 'buffer'

Anything more script oriented?

 

Pretty much this, with variations using string interpolation:

:exe $"{bnr}buffer"

:exe $"b {bnr}"

Thanks, hadn't thought of string interpolation

Looking again I saw that ":5buffer" and ":buffer 5" are the same (as you show, and I should have known)

I've started using

    execute 'buffer' bnr
