You should possibly also escape the '\'. I think a better approach would be: call append(6, map(readfile('/tmp/chosenfiles'), '"Attach: ".escape(v:val, " \t\\")')) (or something like this, haven't tested it) Would there be interest, to implement an interface to range in the previously mentioned Vim-Plugin? regards, Christian
