Question

I’m new to the vi editor and I would like to create a simple custom command in .vimrc that inserts something like 2012-03-13 22:21:17.0 +0100 / Daniel.

Actually, my command (in .vimrc) is as follows:

command! InsertTime :normal a<C-R>=strftime('%F %H:%M:%S.0 %z')<CR>

I also set a variable:

let myname="Daniel"

InsertTime inserts the date perfectly. But how can I concatenate it with the content of my variable?

Answer 1

To concatenate, vim scripts use . caracter. So try this one :

In vimrc:

let myname="Daniel"
command! InsertTime :normal a<C-R>=strftime('%F %H:%M:%S.0 %z') . "/" . myname<CR>

no tested there.
