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

Sure thing, you can 'write' any content of the current file into the standard input of another program:

:.w !bash

Here . (the part before w) refers to the range of lines you are writing, and . is only the current line. Then you use !bash to write those lines to Bash.
