tar.vim : A vim plugin for browsing tarfiles



script karma Rating 120/46, Downloaded by 2113 Comments, bugs, improvements Vim wiki created by Michael Toren script type utility description Once this script is installed, attempting to edit a tarfile will present the

user with a list of files contained in the tar archive. By moving the cursor

over a filename and pressing ENTER, the contents of a file can be viewed in

read-only mode, in a new window. Unfortunately, write support for tarfile

components is not currently possible.



Requires GNU tar, or a tar implementation that supports the "P" (don't strip

out leading /'s from filenames), and "O" (extract files to standard output)

options. Additionally, gzip is required for handling *.tar.Z, *.tar.gz,

and *.tgz compressed tarfiles, and bzip2 is required for handling *.tar.bz2

compressed tarfiles. A unix-like operating system is probably also required.

install details Place this file, tar.vim, in your $HOME/.vim/plugin directory, and

either restart vim, or execute ":source $HOME/.vim/plugin/tar.vim"
