description

Get an unused file name for testing purpose. File names are counted A1,A2,..,A9,B10,..,B99,C100,..  Several "sets" can be defined.  A set specifies path and extension of the file name to be generated.  Files named "lastnr.dat" maintain the counter(s) for each set. Select a set with a KEY.  An expr-abbr is a useful way to trigger the functions. Usage: edit a new test file:     :new tn# Customization: variables in the vimrc g:testname#set    (dictionary)     :let g:testname#set = {}     :let g:testname#set[KEY] = { "ext": EXT, "path": PATH [, "lnk": LNPK] }     :...          KEY - (string) the selector; for use in the abbreviation, e.g. "vim"     EXT - (string) extension for the file name to be generated, e.g. ".vim"     PATH - (string) path in which to create the new files and "lastnr.dat"         (user creates the files, script only creates lastnr.dat)     LNPK - (string) optional selector to choose the path for lastnr.dat from         another set; "LastNr.dat Path Key".  Makes it possible to have a         single lastnr.dat file for all paths.          * You can overwrite the one default KEY "vim".     * Different KEYs can share PATH (the lastnr file contains a line for       each KEY), only PATH + EXT must be unique (in general). g:testname#lastnrfile     (string)     name of lastnr-file in PATH; must be given without (esp. absolute) path;     default is "lastnr.dat" g:testname#firstnr    (string)     first "number" to be used, default "A1"

install details
