Hello,
I just ran into a weird situation and was wondering if there is a way to get
around it other than renaming the directory that contains the '#' character.
A little background. I am using Windows XP, the latest version of Vim taken
from the Mercurial repository and compiled using Visual Studio 2010. My
version
of Vim lives under the C:\vim directory.
Steps to create the weirdness:
1) Open a Windows Command Prompt.
2) Start a new version of Vim Server, since I like only having one instance of
Vim running at a time, by entering:
'c:\vim\gvim -u NONE --servername VIM'
3) Move to the directory that contains the '#' character:
'cd c:\develop\c#\foo'
3) Create a new files by entering:
'c:\vim\gvim -u NONE --servername VIM --remote-silent bar.cs
4) In the instance of Vim that is already running I get the following error and
the file is not opened:
'E194: No alternate file name to substitute for '#''
Any idea what is happening here?
Sure, I could rename the directory and remove the '#' character, but I was
wondering if there is something else...
Thanks.
Jeff
