Windows has always been an incredibly annoying platform to work on (sigh)
But this only becomes a head-ache when you need to support cross-platform code We use clearcase ( and I think we use the property that saves everything in unix format ) But the editor problem described below is very much a problem -----Original Message----- From: vim_dev@googlegroups.com [mailto:vim_dev@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ben Fritz Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 4:42 AM To: vim_dev@googlegroups.com Cc: Lech Lorens Subject: Re: [patch] Handle files with mixed LF - CRLF line endings when doing tag search On Monday, April 1, 2013 11:43:38 AM UTC-5, Bram Moolenaar wrote: > > I wonder how many users actually run into files where only some lines > > end in a CR.

I even have an autocmd that reloads the file in DOS format if it detects mixed line endings. It sets "nomodified" but doesn't save, so if I don't make any further changes, the file on-disk remains unchanged. The problem is that many other editors, including Visual Studio and UltraEdit, may read in Unix file format correctly, but depending on how they are configured, will insert Windows line endings on any *new* lines. UltraEdit will even preserve line ending style of any copy-pasted text. That *sounds* like a feature but in reality it is incredibly annoying. Do I understand correctly, that I won't see the problem, because I already force-reload the file to remove the mixed line endings? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
