I have a function call in a program that I'm maintaining has 28 arguments for a printf call. It's printing a lot of data in a CSV file. I have problems following finding where what goes and I have some mismatches in the parameters types. I enabled -Wall in gcc and I get warnings like:

n.c:495: warning: int format, pointer arg (arg 15)
n.c:495: warning: format argument is not a pointer (arg 16)
n.c:495: warning: double format, pointer arg (arg 23)

The function is like this:

fprintf (ConvFilePtr, "\"FORMAT3\"%s%04d%s%04d%s%s%s%d%s%c%s%d%c%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%11.lf%s%11.lf%s%11.lf%s%d\n", some_28_arguments_go_here);

I would like to know if there is a vim plugin that highlights the printf format specifier when i go with the cursor over a variable.

Other solutions? How to better reformat the code to make it more readable?

I store, commands found at http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse, in a text file. If I open this text file in Vim and I want to execute the command where the cursor is actually located I do copy the line with Y, switching to command mode with : and !CTRL+r* Is there a more "lazy" possibility ;) >>> More
