Hm. With which pattern are you invoking this command? And what is the

I'm on /home/dpm/project/src, editing myfile.c.
I don't know whether this is relevant, but I usually start editing files
with gvim by right-clicking on them on the file manager and choosing
"Edit with GVim" (I'm using Nautilus on GNOME). The only side-effect of
this, is that the pwd is always set to /home/dpm, so I usually have to
do an :lcd %:h if I need to do any file-related stuff.
So, to recap:
* My .vimrc contains this:
command! VimGrep -nargs=1 -bar -bang
\ vimgrep<bang> <args> ../inc/*.h ../src/*.c
(I guess that ../src/*.c should simply be *.c, but changing that does
not solve the issue)
I put it that way so as to get to the right directory even after ":cd
../inc".
* pwd returns /home/dpm/project/src
* It doesn't matter which pattern I use, I always get the "E488:
Trailing characters" whenever I execute:
:VimGrep pattern
as an example, the last pattern I used was:
:VimGrep static
Thanks for your help (and your patience).
Oh, and I got back to ":help :command" for a double-check. The new
command name must go after the options:
command! -nargs=1 -bar -bang VimGrep
\ vimgrep<bang> <args> ../inc/*.h ../src/*.c
Best regards,
Tony
