errorformat

I am trying to get makeprg and errorformat working with VIM and jslint, and can't seem to get the error format right for the life of me... I am using the nodejs version of jslint which produces results like: 1 116,9: The body of a for in should be wrapped in an if statement to filter unwanted properties from the prototype. for (var k in o) I basically want to match the line number, and column and the error and use the current file for the filename. Anyone know how to do this? To be clear, I am looking for the errorformat to get this command working. Currently my .vimrc file has augroup js set

I tried reading :help errorformat and googling (mostly stackoverflow), but can't understand some of the patterns mentioned there: %s - "specifies the text to search for to locate the error line. [...]" um, first of all, trying to understand the sentence at all, where do I put the "text to search", after the %s ? before it? or, I don't know, does it maybe taint the whole pattern?

I use Vim every day to write shell scripts. I have been reading about the quickfix window, and I think it could speed up my productivity in the edit-run-fix cycle. If I understood properly, I have to write my own errorformat function in order to Vim to be able to catch the errors and introduce them into the quickfix window. But this seems to be really complicated. Is there an easier/more convenient way to take advantage of the quickfix window in Vim when writing Bash scripts? Vim's quickfix window is designed to speed up the edit-compile-edit cycle. Since Bash scripts do not get compiled, we

I want to use Vim's quickfix features with the output from Visual Studio's devenv build process or msbuild. I've created a batch file called build.bat which executes the devenv build like this: devenv MySln.sln /Build Debug In vim I've pointed the :make command to that batch file: :set makeprg=build.bat When I now run :make, the build executes successfully, however the errors don't get parsed out. So if I run :cl or :cn I just end up seeing all the output from devenv /Build. I should see only the errors. I've tried a number of different errorformat settings that I've found on various sites
