Hi all, I am having an issue with the ".vimrc" file. There is a dos format file that I am opening with gvim, on a unix platform. And as expected, when I open the file, I see carriage return (^M) character at the end of each line. Then I can clean up the file easily.
The problem comes about when I create an ".vimrc" file. I noticed it is not about the content of the ".vimrc" file, but it is more about the actual existance of this file. In other words, when I just do "touch .vimrc" so that I create an empty ".vimrc" file, with absolutely nothing in the file, then when I open the same file, I don't see that carriage return characters anymore. But instead what I see is that on the bottum of the file, where it spells out the name of the file, it adds the word [dos] !!! Does any one know why I see such a behavior? and what is the way around it? How can I just have gvim shows the carriage returns, if it is in fact there? thanks in advance, --Rudy -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
