For the record, thanks to Benji Fisher, who got me on the right track. I was able to set up a gvimdiff.bat file that gets called with two (possibly quoted) files as arguments, and then it executes this: gvim.exe --remote-tab +diffsplit %~2 %~1 Seems to work fine with spaces in the filenames. The tilde in the argument specification is a Windows NT command extensions thing, that works on WinNT, Win2k + XP (And I assume Vista) - it un-quotes the file arguments. Thanks all! /Hugo

Thanks Benji, that is on the right track. Maybe I have to call a script that does what I want to do. This works, but as you mentioned, it has a problem with paths/files that has spaces in them. I try to avoid that, but it is known to happen now and then... /Hugo

Hi Al, I have that, and that is what I would use from within vim - but there are times when I would like to have things open from external tools, like my svn browser (or my cvs manager). There are other cases as well. Thanks anyways, I am sure someone else would have use for that tip. /H.

There are other cases as well. Have you tried something like --remote-tab +VCSVimDiff %1 yet? I do not use this, so I have no idea what the syntax of the :VCSVimDiff command is. HTH --Benji Fisher

This is gvim 7 on win xp, btw I don't know how to do exactly what you ask, but have you seen vcscommand.vim? http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=90 It has a VCSVimDiff command that will use the svn client to get a diff and then show the result as a vimdiff. Hope that helps, Al
