vim - open file and goto line number using ::

favorite

Several tools such as grep, py.test, etc ... use the pattern <FileName>:<line number>: to point to errors. For example:

; grep -Hn Common setup.cfg
setup.cfg:11: Common

How can I modify vim and gvim so that I can invoke them like so:

gvim setup.cfg:11:

instead of

gvim setup.cfg +11

I know that I can write a small shell script that would parse things but I wonder if there is an easier way.

This isn't exactly analogous, but vim does have a feature to load the output from grep or (for example) compiler errors from make, and navigate between them. See :help quickfix for more info.

You can use the file:line plugin available here, which does exactly what you want...

The references file-line plugin has some issues, including brokeness when tab pages are in use. vim-fetch does what file-line does, but better.

The reason being, what if you had a file called setup.cfg:11 and wanted to edit it?

Here is a quick script that does what you want as a oneliner...

editline() vim $1%%:* +$1##*:;
