vim7: broken bar separator after user commands
This was working fine in Vim6.3, but in Vim7 I get E488. Here is how to reproduce: :command! TT :echo TT :TT | TT You get: E488: Trailing characters Looks like the user commands can't be followed by other commands anymore. -- Thanks, Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You should use the -bar argument to :command: :command! -bar TT :echo TT - Yegappan

It just says that | in the arguments should be treated as an argument (not as a command separator). Without -bar option, the | character should really act as a command separator. If you run the above exact test in Vim 6.3, you don't get this error and it works really as a command separator. -- Thanks, Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You have it backwards, see :help E177 and scroll down by 24 lines. -bar in the arguments means that a bar can be used to separate the newly-defined command from a subsequent command. Without -bar, a bar, if present, and whatever follows it, are understood as part of the argument string. IIRC, it was aleeady like this in 6.1 Best regards, Tony.

It looks like this was a bug in 6.3 that allowed me to use bar with out the -bar option. In fact, it may be that what is after the | was totally ignored, and I didn't really observe the difference (it was just a refresh). Thanks for the clarification. -- Thanks, Hari __ Do You Yahoo!?
