i tried ctr-L, i tired vim 7 but no luck. it seems to be only this file that
is affected. i think it might have to do with this file being open when my
computer crashed. i believe there is a .swp file of the same name in the
same directory. not sure if thats relevant....
Assuming Linux, as you haven't said what o/s you're using:
cd
/bin/rm .viminfo
Then try editing your file. The swap file may cause a message about
whether or not you wish to recover your file when you edit it.
I suggest saving the file to a temporary file, then try recovering. If
the recovered file looks good, use it.
