in vim, how to set “args” to the result of a “grep -l”?

Question

To illustrate, here\'s how to do it from the command-line:

vim `grep \"hello\" * -Rl`

This opens vim with all the files that have \"hello\" in

Answer 1

Try the args command:

:ar[gs] `grep -Rl "hello" .`

If the backticks aren't working for you, are you use you're using a current version of vim?

:version
