Execute current line in Bash from Vim

Question

This question is similar to Vim: execute current file?, but instead of executing the current file I want to execute only the current line.

Is this possible?<

Answer 1

Add this mapping to your .vimrc file,

nmap E yyp:.!csh

Explanation:

1. yy Yank current line
2. p Paste yanked line below (and the cursor goes to this next row)
3. :.!csh Execute (using csh) this newly pasted line in place. The output of this line replaces this current line, thus before executing the line was yanked and pasted below.
