Can't run many commands in Vim visual mode from outside

I have the following commands in my README file:

./Setup ...
./Setup ...
./Setup ...

I want to run them by typing codes visually and then running them.

I am running unsuccessfully

: '<,'> !

Current code after Luke comments in his answer

My code in .vimrc that I was unable to get:

vmap <silent> <leader>v y:exe '!'.join(split(@", "\n"),';')<cr>

I am trying to make a keyboard shortcut for

v yy

How can you get the above command to work so that you can run file commands directly in Vim?

This might be an oversimplification, but why not just do:

: e README
:%! bash

Filters the current file with bash, executing each line as a command. The current buffer is replaced by the output of all commands in the file.

It might be useful to do :w RESULTS

to save it as a different file so you don't accidentally overwrite the original:



: e README
: w RESULTS
:%! bash

You said you wanted to do this with a visual selection that would work just as well. After you choose what you want to execute, enter :

. '<,'>

will be automatically added to the current command. '<

is the mark at the beginning of the current selection, while '>

is the mark at the end of the current selection. You can simply run only the commands you have chosen in the same way as above:

: '<,'>! bash

This will replace only the selected commands with the result of those commands.

  • First select the text,
  • then copy it with y

    ,

  • and finally you can do:

    : exe '!'. join (split (@ "," \ n "), ';')
