[20210810]完善vim bccalc_win插件.txt

–//前一段时间改写vim bccalc_win插件,发现使用16x计算取模时存在问题,计算错误。
–//建议不采用bc -l模式计算,采用bc模式计算.

–//测试如下:
10210a5e = 270600798
270600798 % 131072 %7+1 = 4    ===> 使用bc计算    c0
10210a5e % 20000 % 7 +1 = 0x4  ===> 使用bc计算    16x
–//以下计算错误:
10210a5e % 20000 % 7 +1 = 0x1  ===> 使用bc -l计算 16x
270600798 % 131072 %7+1 = 1    ===> 使用bc -l计算 cc
10210a5e % 20000 % 7 +1 = 1    ===> 使用bc -l计算 10

–//顺便加入更多的注解,避免以后自己都读不懂源代码。在读代码时,我还发现源作者有一个插入模式计算方式,
–//实际上以前blog的上也有说明:

inoremap =: = <Esc>”eyy:call CalcLines(0)<CR>a

–//在输入表达式时输入=:就可以知道结果,当然输入要快。例子:”
12*4.2= 50.4

–//如果无法计算,显示如下,这种模式自己不太喜欢,仅仅加入=- (10to16,16to10的转换),其他不作扩展了。
123123a= (standard_in) 1: parse error

–//如果输入太慢就是如下,另外注意set paste问题,这样在插入模式无效。
12*4.2=:

–//另外为了代码的通用性修改加入如下:
    if has(“windows”)
        let str = substitute (str, ‘^’, ‘^^^^’,    “g”)
    endif

–//windows的命令行有一些变态,必须输入4个^才表示1个^.
D:>echo 2^5 | bc
25

D:>echo 2^^^^5 | bc
32

–//另外取消了提示行显示结果的需求,结果直接输出并且自动判断是否在结尾输入=.没有输入自动补上,整个改动有点大。
    ” append answer or echo
    if has_equal == 1
        exec “normal a ” . answer
    else
        exec “normal a ” . “= ” . answer
        “” echo “answer = ” . answer
    endif

–//源代码如下,bc.exe可执行程序自己要另行安装,一般我选择unxutils包.另外我测试仅仅<Leader>开头的命令。
