Thank you SC and sorry for very short description of the problem. I am able to find the syntax file in the */usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax*
It has most of the languages. I am using the language system verilog, whose extension would be in .sv and the syntax would be similar to the syntax of existing verilog language. Can I guide vim to pick up the verilog syntax whenever I open a *.sv file ? as of now I am using :se syntax=verilog every time I open a .sv file. Could you please help me on this.
