+ VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Jacques Germishuys
+
+The perl Interface to Vim *if_perl* *perl*
+
+See |provider-perl| for more information.
+
+ Type |gO| to see the table of contents.
+
+==============================================================================
+1. Commands *perl-commands*
+
+ *:perl*
+:[range]perl {stmt}
+ Execute perl statement {stmt}. The current package is
+ "main". A simple check if the `:perl` command is
+ working: >
+ :perl print "Hello"
+
+:[range]perl << [endmarker]
+{script}
+{endmarker}
+ Execute perl script {script}. Useful for including
+ perl code in Vim scripts. Requires perl, see
+ |script-here|.
+
+The {endmarker} below the {script} must NOT be preceded by any white space.
+
+If [endmarker] is omitted from after the "<<", a dot '.' must be used after
+{script}, like for the |:append| and |:insert| commands.
+
+Example: >
+ function! MyVimMethod()
+ perl << EOF
+ sub my_vim_method
+ {
+ print "Hello World!\n";
+ }
+ EOF
+ endfunction
+
+To see what version of perl you have: >
+
+ :perl print $^V
+<
+ *:perldo*
+:[range]perldo {cmd} Execute perl command {cmd} for each line in the[range],
+ with $_ being set to the test of each line in turn,
+ without a trailing <EOL>. In addition to $_, $line and
+ $linenr is also set to the line content and line number
+ respectively. Setting $_ will change the text, but note
+ that it is not possible to add or delete lines using
+ this command.
+ The default for [range] is the whole file: "1,$".
+
+Examples:
+>
+ :perldo $_ = reverse($_);
+ :perldo $_ = "".$linenr." => $line";
+
+One can use `:perldo` in conjunction with `:perl` to filter a range using
+perl. For example: >
+
+ :perl << EOF
+ sub perl_vim_string_replace
+ {
+ my $line = shift;
+ my $needle = $vim->eval('@a');
+ my $replacement = $vim->eval('@b');
+ $line =~ s/$needle/$replacement/g;
+ return $line;
+ }
+ EOF
+ :let @a='somevalue'
+ :let @b='newvalue'
+ :'<,'>perldo $_ = perl_vim_string_replace($_)
+<
+ *:perlfile*
+:[range]perlfile {file}
+ Execute the perl script in {file}. The whole
+ argument is used as a single file name.
+
+Both of these commands do essentially the same thing - they execute a piece of
+perl code, with the "current range" set to the given line range.
+
+In the case of :perl, the code to execute is in the command-line.
+In the case of :perlfile, the code to execute is the contents of the given file.
+
+perl commands cannot be used in the |sandbox|.
+
+To pass arguments you need to set @ARGV explicitly. Example: >
+
+ :perl @ARGV = ("foo", "bar");
+ :perlfile myscript.pl
+
+Here are some examples *perl-examples* >
+
+ :perl print "Hello"
+ :perl $current->line (uc ($current->line))
+ :perl my $str = $current->buffer->[42]; print "Set \$str to: $str"
+
+Note that changes (such as the "use" statements) persist from one command
+to the next.
+
+==============================================================================
+2. The VIM module *perl-vim*
+
+Perl code gets all of its access to Neovim via the "VIM" module.
+
+Overview >
+ print "Hello" # displays a message
+ VIM::Msg("Hello") # displays a message
+ VIM::SetOption("ai") # sets a vim option
+ $nbuf = VIM::Buffers() # returns the number of buffers
+ @buflist = VIM::Buffers() # returns array of all buffers
+ $mybuf = (VIM::Buffers('a.c'))[0] # returns buffer object for 'a.c'
+ @winlist = VIM::Windows() # returns array of all windows
+ $nwin = VIM::Windows() # returns the number of windows
+ ($success, $v) = VIM::Eval('&path') # $v: option 'path', $success: 1
+ ($success, $v) = VIM::Eval('&xyz') # $v: '' and $success: 0
+ $v = VIM::Eval('expand("<cfile>")') # expands <cfile>
+ $curwin->SetHeight(10) # sets the window height
+ @pos = $curwin->Cursor() # returns (row, col) array
+ @pos = (10, 10)
+ $curwin->Cursor(@pos) # sets cursor to @pos
+ $curwin->Cursor(10,10) # sets cursor to row 10 col 10
+ $mybuf = $curwin->Buffer() # returns the buffer object for window
+ $curbuf->Name() # returns buffer name
+ $curbuf->Number() # returns buffer number
+ $curbuf->Count() # returns the number of lines
+ $l = $curbuf->Get(10) # returns line 10
+ @l = $curbuf->Get(1 .. 5) # returns lines 1 through 5
+ $curbuf->Delete(10) # deletes line 10
+ $curbuf->Delete(10, 20) # delete lines 10 through 20
+ $curbuf->Append(10, "Line") # appends a line
+ $curbuf->Append(10, "L1", "L2", "L3") # appends 3 lines
+ @l = ("L1", "L2", "L3")
+ $curbuf->Append(10, @l) # appends L1, L2 and L3
+ $curbuf->Set(10, "Line") # replaces line 10
+ $curbuf->Set(10, "Line1", "Line2") # replaces lines 10 and 11
+ $curbuf->Set(10, @l) # replaces 3 lines
+
+Module Functions:
+
+ *perl-Msg*
+VIM::Msg({msg})
+ Displays the message {msg}.
+
+ *perl-SetOption*
+VIM::SetOption({arg}) Sets a vim option. {arg} can be any argument that the
+ ":set" command accepts. Note that this means that no
+ spaces are allowed in the argument! See |:set|.
+
+ *perl-Buffers*
+VIM::Buffers([{bn}...]) With no arguments, returns a list of all the buffers
+ in an array context or returns the number of buffers
+ in a scalar context. For a list of buffer names or
+ numbers {bn}, returns a list of the buffers matching
+ {bn}, using the same rules as Vim's internal
+ |bufname()| function.
+ WARNING: the list becomes invalid when |:bwipe| is
+ used.
+
+ *perl-Windows*
+VIM::Windows([{wn}...]) With no arguments, returns a list of all the windows
+ in an array context or returns the number of windows
+ in a scalar context. For a list of window numbers
+ {wn}, returns a list of the windows with those
+ numbers.
+ WARNING: the list becomes invalid when a window is
+ closed.
+
+ *perl-DoCommand*
+VIM::DoCommand({cmd}) Executes Ex command {cmd}.
+
+ *perl-Eval*
+VIM::Eval({expr}) Evaluates {expr} and returns (success, value) in list
+ context or just value in scalar context.
+ success=1 indicates that val contains the value of
+ {expr}; success=0 indicates a failure to evaluate
+ the expression. '@x' returns the contents of register
+ x, '&x' returns the value of option x, 'x' returns the
+ value of internal |variables| x, and '$x' is equivalent
+ to perl's $ENV{x}. All |functions| accessible from
+ the command-line are valid for {expr}.
+ A |List| is turned into a string by joining the items
+ and inserting line breaks.
+
+==============================================================================
+3. VIM::Buffer objects *perl-buffer*
+
+Methods:
+
+ *perl-Buffer-Name*
+Name() Returns the filename for the Buffer.
+
+ *perl-Buffer-Number*
+Number() Returns the number of the Buffer.
+
+ *perl-Buffer-Count*
+Count() Returns the number of lines in the Buffer.
+
+ *perl-Buffer-Get*
+Get({lnum}, {lnum}?, ...)
+ Returns a text string of line {lnum} in the Buffer
+ for each {lnum} specified. An array can be passed
+ with a list of {lnum}'s specified.
+
+ *perl-Buffer-Delete*
+Delete({lnum}, {lnum}?)
+ Deletes line {lnum} in the Buffer. With the second
+ {lnum}, deletes the range of lines from the first
+ {lnum} to the second {lnum}.
+
+ *perl-Buffer-Append*
+Append({lnum}, {line}, {line}?, ...)
+ Appends each {line} string after Buffer line {lnum}.
+ The list of {line}s can be an array.
+
+ *perl-Buffer-Set*
+Set({lnum}, {line}, {line}?, ...)
+ Replaces one or more Buffer lines with specified
+ {lines}s, starting at Buffer line {lnum}. The list of
+ {line}s can be an array. If the arguments are
+ invalid, replacement does not occur.
+
+==============================================================================
+4. VIM::Window objects *perl-window*
+
+Methods:
+ *perl-Window-SetHeight*
+SetHeight({height})
+ Sets the Window height to {height}, within screen
+ limits.
+
+ *perl-Window-GetCursor*
+Cursor({row}?, {col}?)
+ With no arguments, returns a (row, col) array for the
+ current cursor position in the Window. With {row} and
+ {col} arguments, sets the Window's cursor position to
+ {row} and {col}. Note that {col} is numbered from 0,
+ Perl-fashion, and thus is one less than the value in
+ Vim's ruler.
+
+Buffer() *perl-Window-Buffer*
+ Returns the Buffer object corresponding to the given
+ Window.
+
+==============================================================================
+5. Lexical variables *perl-globals*
+
+There are multiple lexical variables.
+
+$curwin The current Window object.
+$curbuf The current Buffer object.
+$vim A Neovim::Ext object.
+$nvim The same as $nvim.
+$current A Neovim::Ext::Current object.
+
+These are also available via the "main" package:
+
+$main::curwin The current Window object.
+$main::curbuf The current Buffer object.
