These +--- take the form {n$}, where n is >= 1. +--- +--- flags +--- Zero or more of the following flags: +--- +--- # The value should be converted to an "alternate +--- form". For c, d, and s conversions, this option +--- has no effect. For o conversions, the precision +--- of the number is increased to force the first +--- character of the output string to a zero (except +--- if a zero value is printed with an explicit +--- precision of zero). +--- For x and X conversions, a non-zero result has +--- the string "0x" (or "0X" for X conversions) +--- prepended to it. +--- +--- 0 (zero) Zero padding. For all conversions the converted +--- value is padded on the left with zeros rather +--- than blanks. If a precision is given with a +--- numeric conversion (d, o, x, and X), the 0 flag +--- is ignored. +--- +--- - A negative field width flag; the converted value +--- is to be left adjusted on the field boundary. +--- The converted value is padded on the right with +--- blanks, rather than on the left with blanks or +--- zeros. A - overrides a 0 if both are given. +--- +--- ' ' (space) A blank should be left before a positive +--- number produced by a signed conversion (d). +--- +--- + A sign must always be placed before a number +--- produced by a signed conversion. A + overrides +--- a space if both are used. +--- +--- field-width +--- An optional decimal digit string specifying a minimum +--- field width. If the converted value has fewer bytes +--- than the field width, it will be padded with spaces on +--- the left (or right, if the left-adjustment flag has +--- been given) to fill out the field width. For the S +--- conversion the count is in cells. +--- +--- .precision +--- An optional precision, in the form of a period '.' +--- followed by an optional digit string. If the digit +--- string is omitted, the precision is taken as zero. +--- This gives the minimum number of digits to appear for +--- d, o, x, and X conversions, the maximum number of +--- bytes to be printed from a string for s conversions, +--- or the maximum number of cells to be printed from a +--- string for S conversions. +--- For floating point it is the number of digits after +--- the decimal point. +--- +--- type +--- A character that specifies the type of conversion to +--- be applied, see below. +--- +--- A field width or precision, or both, may be indicated by an +--- asterisk "*" instead of a digit string. In this case, a +--- Number argument supplies the field width or precision. A +--- negative field width is treated as a left adjustment flag +--- followed by a positive field width; a negative precision is +--- treated as though it were missing. Example: >vim +--- echo printf("%d: %.*s", nr, width, line) +--- <This limits the length of the text used from "line" to +--- "width" bytes. +--- +--- If the argument to be formatted is specified using a posional +--- argument specifier, and a '*' is used to indicate that a +--- number argument is to be used to specify the width or +--- precision, the argument(s) to be used must also be specified +--- using a {n$} positional argument specifier. See |printf-$|. +--- +--- The conversion specifiers and their meanings are: +--- +--- *printf-d* *printf-b* *printf-B* *printf-o* *printf-x* *printf-X* +--- dbBoxX The Number argument is converted to signed decimal (d), +--- unsigned binary (b and B), unsigned octal (o), or +--- unsigned hexadecimal (x and X) notation. The letters +--- "abcdef" are used for x conversions; the letters +--- "ABCDEF" are used for X conversions. The precision, if +--- any, gives the minimum number of digits that must +--- appear; if the converted value requires fewer digits, it +--- is padded on the left with zeros. In no case does a +--- non-existent or small field width cause truncation of a +--- numeric field; if the result of a conversion is wider +--- than the field width, the field is expanded to contain +--- the conversion result. +--- The 'h' modifier indicates the argument is 16 bits. +--- The 'l' modifier indicates the argument is a long +--- integer. The size will be 32 bits or 64 bits +--- depending on your platform. +--- The "ll" modifier indicates the argument is 64 bits. +--- The b and B conversion specifiers never take a width +--- modifier and always assume their argument is a 64 bit +--- integer. +--- Generally, these modifiers are not useful. They are +--- ignored when type is known from the argument. +--- +--- i alias for d +--- D alias for ld +--- U alias for lu +--- O alias for lo +--- +--- *printf-c* +--- c The Number argument is converted to a byte, and the +--- resulting character is written. +--- +--- *printf-s* +--- s The text of the String argument is used. If a +--- precision is specified, no more bytes than the number +--- specified are used. +--- If the argument is not a String type, it is +--- automatically converted to text with the same format +--- as ":echo". +--- *printf-S* +--- S The text of the String argument is used. If a +--- precision is specified, no more display cells than the +--- number specified are used. +--- +--- *printf-f* *E807* +--- f F The Float argument is converted into a string of the +--- form 123.456. The precision specifies the number of +--- digits after the decimal point. When the precision is +--- zero the decimal point is omitted. When the precision +--- is not specified 6 is used. A really big number +--- (out of range or dividing by zero) results in "inf" +--- or "-inf" with %f (INF or -INF with %F). +--- "0.0 / 0.0" results in "nan" with %f (NAN with %F). +--- Example: >vim +--- echo printf("%.2f", 12.115) +--- < 12.12 +--- Note that roundoff depends on the system libraries. +--- Use |round()| when in doubt. +--- +--- *printf-e* *printf-E* +--- e E The Float argument is converted into a string of the +--- form 1.234e+03 or 1.234E+03 when using 'E'. The +--- precision specifies the number of digits after the +--- decimal point, like with 'f'. +--- +--- *printf-g* *printf-G* +--- g G The Float argument is converted like with 'f' if the +--- value is between 0.001 (inclusive) and 10000000.0 +--- (exclusive). Otherwise 'e' is used for 'g' and 'E' +--- for 'G'. When no precision is specified superfluous +--- zeroes and '+' signs are removed, except for the zero +--- immediately after the decimal point. Thus 10000000.0 +--- results in 1.0e7. +--- +--- *printf-%* +--- % A '%' is written. No argument is converted. The +--- complete conversion specification is "%%". +--- +--- When a Number argument is expected a String argument is also +--- accepted and automatically converted. +--- When a Float or String argument is expected a Number argument +--- is also accepted and automatically converted. +--- Any other argument type results in an error message. +--- +--- *E766* *E767* +--- The number of {exprN} arguments must exactly match the number +--- of "%" items. If there are not sufficient or too many +--- arguments an error is given. Up to 18 arguments can be used. +--- +--- *printf-$* +--- In certain languages, error and informative messages are +--- more readable when the order of words is different from the +--- corresponding message in English.

Thus when +--- {timeout} is 500 the search stops after half a second. +--- The value must not be negative. A zero value is like not +--- giving the argument. +--- +--- If the {skip} expression is given it is evaluated with the +--- cursor positioned on the start of a match. If it evaluates to +--- non-zero this match is skipped. This can be used, for +--- example, to skip a match in a comment or a string. +--- {skip} can be a string, which is evaluated as an expression, a +--- function reference or a lambda. +--- When {skip} is omitted or empty, every match is accepted. +--- When evaluating {skip} causes an error the search is aborted +--- and -1 returned. +--- *search()-sub-match* +--- With the 'p' flag the returned value is one more than the +--- first sub-match in \(\). One if none of them matched but the +--- whole pattern did match. +--- To get the column number too use |searchpos()|. +--- +--- The cursor will be positioned at the match, unless the 'n' +--- flag is used. +--- +--- Example (goes over all files in the argument list): >vim +--- let n = 1 +--- while n <= argc() " loop over all files in arglist +--- exe "argument " .. n +--- " start at the last char in the file and wrap for the +--- " first search to find match at start of file +--- normal G$ +--- let flags = "w" +--- while search("foo", flags) > 0 +--- s/foo/bar/g +--- let flags = "W" +--- endwhile +--- update " write the file if modified +--- let n = n + 1 +--- endwhile +--- < +--- Example for using some flags: >vim +--- echo search('\<if\|\(else\)\|\(endif\)', 'ncpe') +--- <This will search for the keywords "if", "else", and "endif" +--- under or after the cursor.

With the cursor on the first word of the +--- line: +--- if (foo == 0) | let foo = foo + 1 | endif ~ +--- the function returns 1. Without the 'c' flag, the function +--- finds the "endif" and returns 3.

Example: >vim +--- " ΓΆ is sorted similarly to o with English locale. +--- language collate en_US.UTF8 +--- echo sort(['n', 'o', 'O', 'ΓΆ', 'p', 'z'], 'l') +--- < ['n', 'o', 'O', 'ΓΆ', 'p', 'z'] ~ +--- >vim +--- " ΓΆ is sorted after z with Swedish locale. +--- language collate sv_SE.UTF8 +--- echo sort(['n', 'o', 'O', 'ΓΆ', 'p', 'z'], 'l') +--- < ['n', 'o', 'O', 'p', 'z', 'ΓΆ'] ~ +--- This does not work properly on Mac. +--- +--- When {how} is given and it is 'n' then all items will be +--- sorted numerical (Implementation detail: this uses the +--- strtod() function to parse numbers, Strings, Lists, Dicts and +--- Funcrefs will be considered as being 0). +--- +--- When {how} is given and it is 'N' then all items will be +--- sorted numerical. This is like 'n' but a string containing +--- digits will be used as the number they represent. +--- +--- When {how} is given and it is 'f' then all items will be +--- sorted numerical. All values must be a Number or a Float. +--- +--- When {how} is a |Funcref| or a function name, this function +--- is called to compare items. The function is invoked with two +--- items as argument and must return zero if they are equal, 1 or +--- bigger if the first one sorts after the second one, -1 or +--- smaller if the first one sorts before the second one. +--- +--- {dict} is for functions with the "dict" attribute. It will be +--- used to set the local variable "self". |Dictionary-function| +--- +--- The sort is stable, items which compare equal (as number or as +--- string) will keep their relative position. E.g., when sorting +--- on numbers, text strings will sort next to each other, in the +--- same order as they were originally. +--- +--- +--- Example: >vim +--- func MyCompare(i1, i2) +--- return a:i1 == a:i2 ? 0 : a:i1 > a:i2 ? 1 : -1 +--- endfunc +--- eval mylist->sort("MyCompare") +--- <A shorter compare version for this specific simple case, which +--- ignores overflow: >vim +--- func MyCompare(i1, i2) +--- return a:i1 - a:i2 +--- endfunc +--- <For a simple expression you can use a lambda: >vim +--- eval mylist->sort({i1, i2 -> i1 - i2}) +--- < +--- +--- @param list any +--- @param how? any +--- @param dict? any +--- @return any +function vim.fn.sort(list, how, dict) end + +--- Return the sound-folded equivalent of {word}.
