This plugin intends to break a Fix Message into xml

The fix message should consist in keys and values separated by equals and those pairs separated by a null character

#!text
8=FIX.4.1�9=61�35=A�49=INVMGR�56=BRKR�34=1�52=20000426-12:05:06�98=0�108=30�10=157�

the output will be something like this

#!xml
<FIX>
<BeginString>FIX.4.1</BeginString><BodyLength>61</BodyLength><MsgType>A</MsgType><SenderCompID>INVMGR</SenderCompID><TargetCompID>BRKR</TargetCompID><MsgSeqNum>1</MsgSeqNum><SendingTime>20000426-12:05:06</SendingTime><EncryptMethod>0</EncryptMethod><HeartBtInt>30</HeartBtInt><CheckSum>157</CheckSum>
</FIX>

When converting from message to xml the plugin tries to translate FieldNumbers to FieldName using some dictionary files, which are located in autoload folder. Those dictionary files were generated using the xml file found at Quickfix Engine

Go to a line where existis a Fix Message and type

:FixToXml

The protocol version can be configured by the variable g:fixprotocol_fixversion with two possible values

let g:fixprotocol_fixversion = '42'

or

let g:fixprotocol_fixversion = '44'

You can define the xml root tag setting the variable g:fixprotocol_root_tag to any valid string

let g:fixprotocol_root_tag = 'FIX'

If you don't have a preferred installation method, one option is to install pathogen.vim, and then copy and paste:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://[email protected]/vappolinario/vim-fixprotocol.git

Otherwise you can always download and copy the files to plugin, autoload and doc whitin your vim directory

• Suport for more fix versions
• XML indentation
