[Vim-latex-devel] Invalid arguments for function substitute, etc

[Gregor B. <gre...@gm...>]

Dear all,

I have just installed the latex suite for vim, following the steps on
the homepage. The help works like a charm, but the file plugin prints
a lot of error messages like the one in the subject. I am using vim
6.4.

Thanks for your help.

Best,
Gregor

Hi,

Unfortunately, I will need more information to help you because I
cannot reproduce this. At the very least, I would like to know which
file and line number is causing this error. This information is
provided when vim gives the error messages. To properly capture the
errors, do something like this

1. open a tex file. You are going to see some errors.
2. issue the following command:
    :redir @a | messages | redir END
3. Open a new empty buffer and paste the contents of register @a. (use "ap)

This file should hopefully elaborate on where the error occured etc.
If you can email that to me, I should be able to help you further.

I attached the file, produced by the above procedure. Hopefully, it
will help you see what the problem might be.

Best,
Gregor

Interesting... Can you do a quick check... Run the command

:echo substitute("12a\nb\<CR>c d", '\([^[:alnum:]]\)',
'\=3D"_".char2nr(submatch(1))."_"', 'g')

and see if you get any errors. You should get the string:

12a_10_b_13_c_32_d

If this is not causing errors, it might be some tricky i18n issue...
If this is causing errors, it might be that vim is not compiled with
expression support or something similar.

I get this string. I looked in the IMAP function and found out what
the problem is. In file plugin/imaps.vim, line 181 you start a
command:

=09exe 'inoremap <silent>'
=09=09=09=09\ escape(lastLHSChar, '|')
=09=09=09=09\ '<C-r>=3D<SID>LookupCharacter("' .
=09=09=09=09\ escape(lastLHSChar, '\|"') .
=09=09=09=09\ '")<CR>'

The problem is that my vim does not "understand" this as one command.
If I join this lines and remove back-slashes, the IMAP executes
correctly. I also get all the menus in gvim. The only problem is that
many other files contain such commands. Do you have any idea why
multi-line commands causes problems to my vim?

The worst thing is that if I copy the IMAP function in my .gvimrc it
WORKS?! No problem with back-slashes... But, as soon as I put the IMAP
function in my ~/.vim/plugin/ directory I get the same errors. Any
clues?

Problem solved.

Since I did not have .vimrc in my home, Vi compatible mode was used
during plugin sourcing (.gvimrc is consulted much later than plugins).

A simple 'touch ~/.vimrc' did the job.

Once again, thanks for yor help.

Best,
Gregor

I had forgotten the mandatory

set cpo&vim

at the beginning of plugin/imaps.vim. This reminds me to check all the
files in the distribution fo this.
