Is your Vim version compiled with +multi_byte ? (:echo has(multi_byte)
should return 1). The multi-byte feature is also mentioned in the
:version text as one of +multi_byte, +multi_byte_ime or
+multi_byte_ime/dyn
If yes, check near the bottom of the :version text the name of the
compiler: Vim binaries compiled with BCC32 have been notorious in the
past for bad support of multi-byte characters, especially in filenames;
IIUC, other compilers such as gcc and (don't remember the compiler
executable name) MS Visual C have less problems in that respect. (I
could be wrong though; I don't use non-Latin1 filenames and only very
rarely non-7-bit-ASCII ones.)
If has(multi_byte) is nonzero and it wasn't compiled with BCC32 then I
don't know what it is -- maybe a bug. In this case, a makeshift
workaround (until Bram fixes it) would be to rename the file back and
forth to something with only 7-bit ASCII in the name.
Normally, E303 means the swapfile can't be opened; but you should still
be able to edit the file itself, unless it is very large. But you won't
get a recovery option if Vim crashes, so don't forget to save your work
extra often.
Oh, and you are using a recent version of Vim aren't you? A year or two
ago Vim just couldn't handle filenames with multibyte characters in
them, but I thought that bug had been fixed.
Best regards,
Tony.
Thanks for your answer,
I use the vim 7.0 compiled with MS Visual C and it has multibyte.
echo has(multi_byte) return 1.
The file won't be opened and can't be edited even though the file is small.
All what I get is an empty file.
If I rename the file with ASCII, even with accented file name it will be
opened. But notepad can open and edit it.
Many thanks in advance,
Andalou
I now see the problem. You code page is not 936, right? Vim seems only
able to open files with names that are valid in the current code page,
as are many other applications that do not use the Unicode version of
Windows APIs. This is an OS-related issue. You should not have such
problems when the system locale uses UTF-8, such as modern Linux
distros.
One correction. This failure only occurs on the command line. :set
encoding=utf-8, and you can open the file with :e successfully.
