Yanking text between two markers into a named buffer
Frans Grotepass
As the title states, is there a way to yank the text between two markers into
a named buffer?
Thx,
Frans

Well I first thought, this could be done using :copy, but obviously the
range or address cannot be given as mark in another buffer, so this did
not work.
What worked was this:
call append(1,getbufline("filename", line("'A"), line("'B")))
For obvious reasons, this only works with uppercase marks.
regards,
Christian

'a"ry'b
yanks the text between and including markers a and b into register r.

...and if you want it to work characterwise, use backticks rather than
apostrophes:
`a"ry`b
which decomposes into
`a go to mark a (characterwise)
"r the next operation will use register r
y yank...
`b ...to mark b (characterwise)
Best regards,
Tony.
