description

DESCRIPTION Re-sources a Vim script. The script may use a multiple inclusion guard variable g:loaded_{scriptname} (with {scriptname} having either the same case as specified or all lowercase.) If you specify the bare scriptname (without .vim extension), the script must reside in $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/{scriptname}.vim. Otherwise, the passed filespec is interpreted as the file system location of a Vim script and sourced as-is. If you execute :ReloadScript without passing a scriptname, the current buffer is re-sourced. USAGE ReloadScript Re-sources the current buffer. ReloadScript {scriptname} Re-sources the passed plugin script. ReloadScript {path/to/script.vim} Re-sources the passed file. ASSUMPTIONS Not every script supports reloading. There may be error messages like "function already exists". To support reloading, the script should use the bang (!) variants of :function! and :command!, which will automatically override already existing elements. Ensure that the script uses a multiple inclusion guard variable that conforms to the conventions mentioned above. The :ReloadScript command will issue a warning if it cannot find the inclusion guard variable.

install details

INSTALLATION This script is packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vmb.gz package in Vim; otherwise, decompress the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by sourcing the vimball or via the :UseVimball command.     vim ReloadScript*.vmb.gz     :so % To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command. DEPENDENCIES - Requires Vim 7.0 or higher.

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
ReloadScript-1.21.vmb.gz	1.21	2012-08-28	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- Avoid <f-args> because of its unescaping behavior. - Also no global inclusion guard for ftdetect scripts.
ReloadScript.vba.gz	1.20	2011-01-09	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- BUG: Avoiding "E471: Argument required" error on empty buffer name. - ENH: Explicitly checking for the existence of the file, as we don't want to put the :source command inside try...catch (it would stop showing all resulting errors and show only the first), and because :runtime doesn't complain at all. - Added separate help file and packaging the plugin as a vimball.
ReloadScript.vim	1.10.005	2008-07-29	7.0	Ingo Karkat	Combined missing inclusion guard warning with reload message to avoid the "Hit ENTER" prompt. No missing inclusion guard warning for scripts that do not need one (e.g. after-directory, autoload, ftplugin, indent, syntax, ...)
ReloadScript.vim	1.10.004	2008-02-28	7.0	Ingo Karkat	A scriptname argument with path and/or extension is sourced as-is. This allows a third usage: :ReloadScript path/to/script.vim
ReloadScript.vim	1.00.003	2007-05-22	7.0	Ingo Karkat	Initial upload
