Get list of marks inside Vimscript

Question

some time ago, I wrote a small plugin in vimscript that was using builtin function getmarklist. Recently I reinstalled Vim and was surprissed that this plugin no longer worked because Vim couldn't find getmarklist. I don't know if this function was removed or this has something to do with build architecture. My old Vim was 64bit, this one is 32bit. So my question is, is there some other way to get list of all marks in vimscript?

Thanks

Answer 1

To get a list of marks in vimscript just use the following command:

:marks

I would also recommend the plugin called: vim-signature. This plugin will automatically display marks in vim. Here is a screen shot:

Answer 2

you can write the output of :marks to a string called str like this:

fun! Marklist() abort
  redir => str
  :silent marks
  redir END
  return str
endfun
