VEX FOR VIM

Basic SideFX Houdini VEX Language support for VIM

Difference Between Official VFL Syntax

There is an offical vfl syntax file for VIM in $HFS/houdini/public/syntax directory -- which is just C definition

If a picture can speak a thousand words:

// it was after I wrote this syntax file that I found there is an official one, luckily it was not good engough, so my time was not wasted :P

With Vundle: no need to say I think

Without Vundle: install Vundle first

Inside Houdini: Open variables dialog (Menu -> Edit -> Aliases and Variables -> Variables)

Set variable EDITOR to <YOUR PATH TO GVIM EXECUTABLE> to use VIM as your VEX editor

ANY KIND OF IMPROVEMENT IS EXTREMELY WELCOMED!
