It seems like a bug, that '%' adds backslashes before parentheses under Windows. Parentheses are not metacharacters in the Windows shell, and backslash is not an escape character.
For instance: gvim "hello (world).txt" :!start cmd /c "%<.exe" & pause<cr> runs "hello.exe" with parameter "\(world\).exe", when the intention is to run "hello (world).exe". --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
