I don't know since when this happens. Now every time I open a file with vim, I get this error.
E576: viminfo: Missing '>' in line: 5\awr_hang_state\masterdb1_ora_4834.trc
E576: viminfo: Missing '>' in line: ^I"^I71990^I10
This file does not exist on my pc any more, but I open any file it complains
this error. I also reinstalled vim, and upgraded it from 6.2 to 7.0 but the
error carried over.
It sounds like your viminfo file is referencing some file that no
longer exists. The quick and dirty cure is to just nuke your
viminfo file. You'd lose any perks currently in the viminfo, but
it's stuff with which one can live without. I fly without
viminfo on several of my boxes and can't say I miss it much.
One can hand-edit the viminfo file, but it's a little trickier.
Once you've purged the viminfo file, it will be recreated the
next time you start Vim, and should no longer reference the
phantom file.
