Yes, if leave a space between the last two quotes, mtx output seems ok.
 
MTXrun |
MTXrun | executing: vim -u NONE -c "set tabstop=8" "test.tex"
MTXrun |
But it still cause vim open two file named "tabstop=8" and "test.tex" to edit. So it seems vim treat tabstop=8 as a file? that still a quotes problem, right? I also test if there no space in quoted arguments, such as 
 
mtxrun --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -c \"help\" \"test.tex\" "
 
This time vim will open the "test.tex" and  help window as expected. If any command with space in -c parameter, vim can not correct executed.
 
manually execute the vim command:
 
vim -u NONE -c "set tabstop=8" "test.tex"
 
vim open the "test.tex" only to edit as expected.

If you quote the filename, then it should be
 
mtxrun --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -c \"set tabstop=8\" \"test.tex\" "

Notice the space before the last quote. This will open two files test.tex and "", but that it is ok. The last file is ignored by t-vim.


which got the mtxrun output has spurious " before test.tex. if omit the \"
around the test.tex, like this,

mtxrun --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -c \"set tabstop=8\" test.tex"

there are no spurious " in mtxrun output.

So it is not mtxrun's fault.


However, both will make vim open a
new file named "tabset=8"

You mean tabstop=8?

and the test.tex to be edited. That is the
problem. I guess under linux this command should open vim to edit the
test.tex only instead.

If vim is passed the correct command, I do not see why it should not execute it in the same way in windows. Try one more thing. Run

mtxrun --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -c \"set tabstop=8\" \"test.tex\" "

mtxrun should report that it is executing


vim -u NONE -c "set tabstop=8" "test.tex"

Execute the above command manually on the terminal. Do you get the same result in both cases?

Hi,

It seems that mtxrun --noquotes behaves differently on windows and linux.
Can someone on windows (who has vim) check the following. Run

mtxrun --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -c \"set tabstop=8\" test.tex"

You will enter in vim. Press :qa! to exit vim. What does the output on the
terminal say? On my linux machine, I get

MTXrun | executing: vim -u NONE -c "set tabstop=8" test.tex

Andy Wong tested it on windows and he gets

MTXrun | executing: vim -u NONE -c "set tabstop=8" "test.tex

Notice the spurious " before test.tex. This causes t-vim to fail on
windows. Do others on windows get the same behavour? I do not see a reason
why mtxrun should behave differently on linux and windows.

Thanks,
Aditya
