How can I open several files at once in Vim?

Question

Is there a way to open all the files in a directory from within Vim? So a :command that would say in effect "Open all the files under /some/path into buffers".

Ideally, it would be great to open all the files under a dir recursively.

Answer 1

The command you are looking for is args:

For example:

:args /path_to_dir/*

will open all files in the directory

Answer 2

Did you try

:n /some/path/*

It will open all files in /some/path

I don't think it'll open file recursively though.

EDIT

Maybe using ** will open recursively as daf mentionned

Answer 3

Why it doesn't work if I want to open all files ending with a certain extension? I tried

:n ./**.cs

and opens only the files in the currenty directory.

I found the answer.The correct code is :n **/*.cs
