Frankly speaking I didn't know that ./tags is relative to the current file (I was expecting it to be relative to the current directory), however that makes no difference to this bug. - when you run taglist() in the above steps, there is no file opened. - I repeated the experiment with just "tags" as the value for 'tags'. - I also tried hardcoding the tags value to the absolution paths of both tags files, something like: "c:/tmp/t1/tags,c:/tmp/t2/tags" and later changing it to something like "c:/tmp/t1/tags", but it continues to show results from both tags files. -- Thanks, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
