Need to be able to customize search path about vimpager HOT 7 CLOSED

It just calls vim, which is found in your PATH.

You need to add ~/bin to your PATH in either ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc.

For example:

export PATH=~/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin

from vimpager.

I've already got my path set up that way to include ~/bin.

I think the issue is that on line 15 of vimpager (and line 13 of
vimcat), you reset the PATH variable to prepend the existing PATH value
with a number of other directories. This puts /usr/bin in the path
before ~/bin now, thus calling the wrong version of vim.
What I needed to do was modify both of these files to add ~/bin before
/usr/bin in the PATH definition to have vimpager / vimcat use the desired version of vim.

Thanks,

Steve

Ah right I'll fix that.

Great! Thanks!

I put the $PATH at the beginning, which is what I thought I needed to do when I wrote this code, but for some reason forgot to fix.

Please try 1.8.8 and let me know if this works.

Works great for me!

Thanks for the quick turnaround.
