how to open a file in a list of files in vim?

Question

I have a longish list of files opened in vim that looks like this:

/dir1/file1
/dir2/file2
/dir2/file3
.....

How can I open all of them one

Answer 1

You can use quickfix mode, as following

:set errorformat=%f
:cf myfilelist

at this point you can use the normal quickfix shortcuts to go through your files, :cn for the next file, :cp for the previous one and :cr to go to the first again.

EDIT:

oh, if you want to read the list from the current buffer, use :cb instead of :cf in in the instructions above
