Are you sure _every_ line ends in "^M"?
Positive. Every single line shows an ^M at the end. "set fileformat"
gives "unix" after loading. Setting fileformat to "dos" doesn't change
the files interpretation in vim. Somehow I think I miss something.
If 'fileformats' includes "dos", then if _all_ lines end in CR+LF, the
'fileformat' should be set (locally) to "dos".
But a single line without a CR causes 'fileformat' to be set to "unix", and
all other lines show a ^M
Test 1:
Load the file. Then:
/[^[:return:]]$
If there is a line ending in LF-without-CR, this search should find it.
Test 2, variant a: To remove all carriage-returns at end-of-line:
:set fileformats=
:e ++ff=dos filename
:setlocal ff=unix
:w
Test 2, variant b: to repair any lines where a CR is missing, (by adding it):
same as 2a, but omit the line with ":setlocal ff=unix".
Then exit Vim and reload the file with your usual settings to see if the
problem has gone away. If it hasn't, do you still see it with
vim -u /usr/local/share/vim/vim71/vimrc_example.vim
(replace the path if necessary by wherever Vim sets $VIMRUNTIME on your
installation: on Windows it might be
vim -u "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim71\vimrc_example.vim"
instead)?
Best regards,
Tony.
