Vim buffer execution

Currently toying around with Vim's scripting language. Have to know your favorite editor, don't you?

Anyway, the script I just completed is saving and sourcing the current buffer. Should prove useful for further Vim script development cycles.

The actual function looks like this:

	" 2010-08-11..2010-08-13
	" Saves current buffer and executes it.
	" If the buffer doesn't have a filename, it is stored in a temp location.
	function! SF_run()
	if bufname("%") == ""
	let PATH = "/tmp/".localtime().".vim"
	else
	let PATH = bufname("%")
	endif
	exec ":write ".PATH
	exec ":source ".PATH
	endfunction
	map <F8> :call SF_run()<CR>
