My compiler and lint tools put out errors in two different formats. I decided to incrementally setup my errorformat, first for lint and then add a pattern for a compiler.
Here is the lint output line I'm trying to match to
"C:\Documents and Settings\user\Projects\MyProject\trunk\src\myfile.c",126 Info 754: local structure member 'myStructMember' (line 126, file C:\Documents and Settings\user\Projects\MyProject\trunk\src\myfile.c) not referenced
My first attempt was
set errorformat=\"%f\"\\,%l\ \ %t%s
And it worked.
Then I tried to set it up as follows
set errorformat=\"%f\"\\,%l\ \ %t\ %s
And it stopped working.
Does anybody know what is the issue? I did read through the documentation but it didn't help.
Any help is appreciated.
" Match the filename and line number
let &errorformat = '"%f"\,%l'
" Match white space, first character of error type, the rest of the characters
" of the error type, and white space again.
let &errorformat .= '%*\s%t%*\w%*\s'
"Match error number, whitespace and error message.
let &errorformat .= '%n:%*\s%m'
