Title Body

I want to use Vim's quickfix features with the output from Visual Studio's devenv build process or msbuild. I've created a batch file called build.bat which executes the devenv build like this: devenv MySln.sln /Build Debug In vim I've pointed the :make command to that batch file: :set makeprg=build.bat When I now run :make, the build executes successfully, however the errors don't get parsed out. So if I run :cl or :cn I just end up seeing all the output from devenv /Build. I should see only the errors. I've tried a number of different errorformat settings that I've found on various sites around the net, but none of them have parsed out the errors correctly. Here's a few I've tried: set errorformat=%*\\d>%f(%l)\ :\ %t%[A-z]%#\ %m set errorformat=\ %#%f(%l)\ :\ %#%t%[A-z]%#\ %m set errorformat=%f(%l,%c):\ error\ %n:\ %f And of course I've tried Vim's default. Here's some example output from the build.bat: C:\TFS\KwB Projects\Thingy>devenv Thingy.sln /Build Debug Microsoft (R) Visual Studio Version 9.0.30729.1. Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp.
