Hi.
I don't use gvim, but I use vim extensively. My .vimrc works in all shells that I have tried bash, ksh, tcsh, zsh, etc. I'm guessing that you are copying or creating the .vimrc lines with shell commands. Here is my .vimrc:
Code:
" .vimrc file
" $Id$
" Use vim to read this file, cat, etc., will
" not present an intelligible view.
"
syntax off
" set expandtab
set autoindent
set shiftwidth=4
set showmatch
set tabstop=4
set wrapmargin=15
map i"ea"
map
!Gmy-spell
if has("autocmd")
" When editing a file, always jump to the last known cursor position.
" Don't do it when the position is invalid or when inside an event handler
" (happens when dropping a file on gvim).
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g`\"" |
\ endif
endif " has("autocmd")
In the vim context, double quotes at the beginning of a line marks a comment.
We would need to know more about how you are creating and using .vimrc to help. I think the "set" error is because somehow tcsh is seeing the command, not vim, and set is how tcsh places values in variables.
Best wishes ... cheers, drl
Edit 1: In other words, exactly as neutronscott described.
sea,
" can be used to comment in .gvimrc file. I have used the above posted code as such in ksh, as I've said earlier and it worked fine. And there are pages online which explains the same too. I didn't understand when you asked "Have you installed it?". If you are talking about gvim, it is already installed in the (company) server and I just needed to set path to point to the installation area, which I've done in .cshrc file.
neutronscott,
It is indeed an intialization file and is sourced from .cshrc or .profile file generally. I was running it from command line for debug purposes because I was getting syntax errors from the file. Otherwise it is automatically sourced. Thanks for the response though.
No, it's generally loaded from within vim since the shell doesn't understand that language. Do you also run perl code from the command-line without invoking perl?
Code:
mute@tiny:~$ print qq=Did you say "Hello?"\n=;
Warning: unknown mime-type for "qq=Did" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Warning: unknown mime-type for "you" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Warning: unknown mime-type for "say" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Warning: unknown mime-type for "Hello?n=" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Error: no such file "qq=Did"
Error: no such file "you"
Error: no such file "say"
Error: no such file "Hello?n="
mute@tiny:~$ perl -e 'print qq=Did you say "Hello?"\n=;'
Did you say "Hello?"
See how perl code works in perl, but not in bash?
Same thing with your gvimrc initialization file. I promise.
This User Gave Thanks to neutronscott For This Post:
I had committed the blunder of trying to source .gvimrc from .cshrc. Actually I had copied it from one of my colleagues and somehow the code was there like that. Though I remember that gvimrc was never sourced from my previous kshrc, it somehow didn't dawn to me until I read your comments (even after neutronscott's first comment).
So bottom line "Never source rc files from another file. They are executed automatically". This applies to .kshrc/.cshrc etc too, I suppose.
Thanks sea, neutronscott, drl for the epiphany!! You guys are awesome.
