How to open and split multiple files

Question

How can I open in a split window multiple files. One split for each file if I'm not being clear.

I want to do something like. :sp app/views/*.erb and have the ~7 files all open in their own split windows.

Answer 1

What happens when you do a

:sf app/views/*.erb

from within vim?

Answer 2

Not actually from within vim, but perhaps you can run vim like this:

vim -o app/views/*.erb

Answer 3

Had to whip up a function.

  fun! OpenSplits(dir)
    for f in split(glob(a:dir), '\n')
      execute "sp " f
    endfor
  endfun
