i'm writing a small script which uses setline. i'm somewhat new to vim
scripting. whenever setline was called i would get an error saying
that this is not an editor command. after looking up in the
documentation for setline, i changed it to call setline and everything
started working. but i'm confused. when should i use call and when i
simply just call a function?

any help is appreciated.


In addition to all the replies you already got, there is an additional possibility:

        if setline(lnum, text)
                echoerr "something went wrong calling setline(" lnum
                        \ . ", '" . string(text) . "')"
        endif

since setline() returns a non-zero value if there was an error.


Best regards,
Tony.
