Shell Programming and Scripting

There are some ksh files named as "*.lib" in my system. When I open them in VIM, vim syntax can't parse it correctly.

Is there a way that I can relate the *.lib with KSH syntax in VIM?

Due to access limitation, i can only update the files under my home directory and can't modify the VIM package files.

Thanks in Adv.

You can put a comment somewhere in your files like

Code:

# vim:syntax=sh

When vim reads the file it processes this line and turns on sh syntax.

Thanks for your answer and it works.

But the sad thing is the "*.lib" files are some source file in a version control system and some extra code is not welcomed.

Is there a way I can add some config under .vim directory for this issue?

You can put this line into your ~/.vimrc file.

Code:

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.lib set filetype=sh

Doesn't work this time.

Tried to add this line to .vimrc, but seems some syntax error is report...
Maybe need to take a look at the vimrc syntax

Also, i would like to only change *.lib to sh, not all the files. Above command seems do a general change, doesn't it?

What vim version are you using? It works here with vim 7.2 on Solaris.

The command should only associate *.lib files with the sh filetype. See: Vim documentation: autocmd

Does this work for you?

Code:

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.lib set syntax=sh

It does works!! Great thanks for your help.
