Improvements[]
Braces around URLs[]
Often I got urls in the format (http://www.vim.org)
or (see http://www.vim.org)
. Urls with braces around or a brace at the end are not correctly recognized.
Therefore I added following lines to utl.vim around line 407:
call Utl_trace("- end getting URL under cursor.",1,-1) let tmpurl = matchstr(url, '^[(]\?.*[)]\+$') if empty(tmpurl) return url else call Utl_trace("- found braces around url, removing.",1,-1) return substitute(url, '^[(]\?\(.*\)[)]\+$', '\1', 'g') endif
Windows 8 upper case drive letters not recognized[]
Utl throws an E303: Unable to open swap file for "\\D:\..."
error on Windows 8 (and maybe 7) in Utl_displayFile. These OSes deliver Upper Case drive letters instead of Lower Case (as in XP), so a small change needs to be made to the utl_scm.vim file around line 146 in Utl_AddressScheme_file(), as per this unified context patch:
