description

Evaluate source code selected in a visual region. The result can be displayed in an interaction log, appended to the text, replace the text, or saved in the @e register. This is useful for performing small text manipulation tasks or calculations that aren't worth the trouble of creating a new file or switching to a different program, but which are too big for being handled in the command line. The key bindings follow this scheme:     <Leader>e{LANGUAGE}{MODE} :: work on the visual region     <Leader>E{LANGUAGE}{MODE} :: work on the contents of the e-register     <Leader>x{MODE}           :: work on the visual region (derives LANGUAGE                                  from the buffer's 'filetype') LANGUAGE being one of:     v :: vim (comments at the end of line after vim code could cause problems)     r :: ruby (requires compiled-in ruby support)     s :: sh (using system())     e :: calculator, evaluate formula (using either ruby, python, perl, tcl,          or vim) I haven't actually tested the following three bindings because I use neither of them. Anyway, as I happen to use a Vim with +tcl, +python and +perl support compiled in, I added them to the standard bindings:     y :: python (requires compiled-in python support)     p :: perl (requires compiled-in perl support)     t :: tcl (requires compiled-in tcl support)     z :: mzscheme (requires compiled-in mzscheme support) If ruby-support is compiled in, the following languages are available too (but see |EvalSelection-Interaction| below):          c :: scheme         set g:evalSelectionSchemeInterpreter to "Gauche" or "Chicken"     l :: lisp         set g:evalSelectionLispInterpreter to "CLisp"     o :: ocaml         set g:evalSelectionOCamlInterpreter to "OCaml" or "OCamlClean"     R :: R         set g:evalSelectionRInterpreter "R", "RClean", or "RDCOM"     S :: SPSS         limited support (no return values), the (one-way) communication with         SPSS is done via OLE automation MODE being one of:     x :: just evaluate and put the result in the e-register     e :: the same as x     p :: echo/print the result on the command line     a :: append the result to visual region     r :: replace visual region with the result     l :: insert the result in a temporary interaction log Commands:     EvalSelectionCmdLine LANG :: Simulate a command line for LANG; due to the     primitive handling of input/output, no input commands (like read, get kind     of stuff) can be used; all output is redirected to the log. Exit with ^D +     Enter, i.e. enter the ^D character.     EvalSelectionSetup{LANG}  :: Set up interaction with external interpreter     (but see below)     EvalSelectionQuit INTERPRETER :: Quit interaction with an     external interpreter

install details

Requires multvals.vim (vimscript #171), +ruby (for interaction with an interpreter) If you have +ruby support compiled in and if you want to talk to an external interpreter, make sure that g:evalSelectionRubyDir points to the directory where EvalSelection.rb resides. Default values are:     Win32: $VIM."/vimfiles/ruby/"     Else:  "~/.vim/ruby/" Also available via git http://github.com/tomtom/vimtlib/tree/master

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
EvalSelection.vba.gz	0.16	2007-06-08	7.0	Tom Link	- MzScheme support (thanks to Mark Smithfield) - Catch errors on EvalSelectionQuit (you'll have to manually kill zombie processes)
EvalSelection.vba.gz	0.15	2007-05-14	7.0	Tom Link	- Escape backslashes in EvalSelectionTalk() - SPSS: Insert a space before variable names (like SPSS itself)
EvalSelection.zip	0.14	2005-06-14	6.0	Tom Link	Fixed some menu-related problems; <LocalLeader>r shortkey for SPSS  andR (work similarly to ctrl-r in the spss editor); display a more usefulerror message when communication via OLE goes wrong; possibility to savethe interaction log; post setup & tear down hooks for externalinterpreters
EvalSelection.zip	0.13	2005-02-16	6.0	Tom Link	R: set working directory and load .Rdata if available, word completion, catch errors, build objects menu; SPSS: show data window, build menu; g:evalSelectionLogCommands defaults to 1; revamped log
EvalSelection.zip	0.10	2005-02-13	6.0	Tom Link	capture interaction with R via R(D)COM; "RDCOM" uses a 2nd instance of gvim as a pager (it doesn't start RCmdr any more); "RDCOM Commander" uses RCmdr; "RDCOM Clean" and "RDCOM Commander Clean" modes; take care of R functions with void results (like data, help.search ...)
EvalSelection.zip	0.9	2005-02-12	6.0	Tom Link	support for interaction with R and SPSS via win32 COM/OLE; calculator shortcuts
EvalSelection.zip	0.8	2004-05-06	6.0	Tom Link	improved interaction with external interpreters (still not fully usable but it's getting better); reunified EvalSelection.vim and EvalSelectionRuby.vim
EvalSelection.zip	0.7	2004-05-03	6.0	Tom Link	Small improvements with external interpreters (e.g., multi-line commands in R); moved code depending on +ruby to EvalSelectionRuby.vim (thanks to Grant  Bowman for pointing out this problem); saved all files in unix  format; added python, perl, and tcl (but I can't tell if they work)
EvalSelection.vim	0.6	2004-03-09	6.0	Tom Link	Use of redir; EvalSelectionCmdLine (CLI-like interaction); interaction with external interpreter (lisp, scheme, R, ocaml; experimental & requires +ruby support); separated logs; removed bc support
EvalSelection.vim	0.382	2004-01-31	6.0	Tom Link	l-Mode for logging
