:help 'ff' :help 'ffs' :help -b If I understand what you're saying correctly, you're complaining that what vim recognizes as line separators (sometimes \r\n, othertimes \n) don't visually appear. Most people, myself included, would not want those line separators showing up, either. Visually quite distracting. The '\n's are there, even with binary mode (ie. vim -b), although binary mode will ahow the '\r's as a ^M. If I wanted to eliminate such a newline, I'd join the lines (J, or :j, or :j!). If I wanted more, I'd insert more lines. Perhaps you're complaining that ^M characters don't appear, for example, with your testVIm3.txt or testVim.txt. That's because Windows users' line separator is ^M^J (or \r\n, if you prefer). If you do: :echo &ff you'll see that testVim.txt and testVim3.txt are being recognized as dos files. If you vim testVim3.txt :echo &ff <-- you'll see its dos :set ff=unix <-- line endings now converted to unix style (ie. no ^Ms anymore) Regards, Chip Campbell -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
