From within Vimscript, how does one open a new split window and insert the contents of a variable?
I’m trying to write a script that applies a function to the current buffer and displays the result in a split window.
Thanks.

To open a new window, use
:split. To insert the contents of a variable, use:call append(0, g:some_var)
