在变量上使用替换

Question

我如何在vimscript中完成以下功能？

fun! Foo()
    let l:bar = "Hello there, world!"
    # Perform a substitution on l:bar, changing "world" to "kitten"
endfun

也就是说,如何对变量而不是当前缓冲区执行替换.

我知道为了替换缓冲区,我可以写

silent :%s/world/kitten/g

但是替换变量的等效命令是什么？

见:help substitute的:help substitute().

它是替代命令的对应物(见:help :substitute).

substitute({expr}, {pat}, {sub}, {flags})       *substitute()*

    The result is a String, which is a copy of {expr}, in which
    the first match of {pat} is replaced with {sub}.  This works
    like the ":substitute" command (without any flags).  But the
    matching with {pat} is always done like the 'magic' option is
    set and 'cpoptions' is empty (to make scripts portable).
    'ignorecase' is still relevant.  'smartcase' is not used.
    See |string-match| for how {pat} is used.
    And a "~" in {sub} is not replaced with the previous {sub}.
    Note that some codes in {sub} have a special meaning
    |sub-replace-special|.  For example, to replace something with
    "\n" (two characters), use "\\\\n" or '\\n'.
    When {pat} does not match in {expr}, {expr} is returned
    unmodified.
    When {flags} is "g", all matches of {pat} in {expr} are
    replaced.  Otherwise {flags} should be "".
    Example: >
        :let &path = substitute(&path, ",\\=[^,]*$", "", "")
    This removes the last component of the 'path' option. 
        :echo substitute("testing", ".*", "\\U\\0", "")
    results in "TESTING".

在你的例子中,我想这
let l:bar = substitute(l:bar, "world", "kitten", "")应该工作
