Hi, I think I have messed up one too many settings in my .vimrc :) I have noticed lately very strange errors in bash scripts I wrote under linux. It took me some time to realize that bash refuses to run my scripts b/ c it sees all kinda dos thingies in there (mainly or maybe only carriage returns at end of line). Strangely the replacement %s/\r//g found 0 matches yet the errors persisted. Even stranger, after running dos2unix the errors went away.
I think this has to do with the format shown in the status line, I have noticed that my old scripts and C sources show format=unix while my new scripts that don't work show format=dos. Last, I noticed that after I run dos2unix on a new script (one that showed format=dos) that script now shows format=unix. How can I get to help section re. this? Are there any insights as to what is going on or what in .vimrc can lead to that? Last, how do I fix this so that new files I edit in Linux are set to unix and not dos format? TIA!
