How to filter cscope output in Vim

Question

I am looking for a way to grep output cscoperequests from Vim.

The following did not work for me:

:cs f s symbol !grep pattern

He gave:

E259: no matches found for cscope query s symbol !grep pattern ...

PS:
I know the method redir, I'm looking for an easier way to filter the output of ex-command commands through Unix commands.

Answer 1

You can use :redirto send message output to a register or file.

redir @c
cs f s symbol
redir END

Now you can put the register cin the file and filter it.

I do not get many results from cscope (all this in quickfix), but it will do what you describe.

In general, you can filter shell commands (see :help :!cmd) with |(bar):

:!echo 0updateView | cscope -dl | grep global

ex ( ):

:if &ft != 'help' | silent! cd %:p:h | endif

, ex , redir. , Benoit .
