Hi all! I prepared a document where I investigated which characters need to be escaped in vim's ":!" commands of filtering the text through a shell command. It can be found here:
https://github.com/shlomif/vim-begin/tree/master/understanding-exclamation-mark-shell-exec--escaping-rules (short URL: http://is.gd/wA8Yie ) Executive summary: - “%”, “#”, and “!” should be escaped with a backslash (“\”). - All other punctuation/special characters (including a backslash) need not and should not be escaped. Enjoy! Regards, -- Shlomi Fish -- ------------------------------------------ Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Chuck Norris helps the gods that help themselves.
