I think I may not write it clear in my previous email. I run the command as
 
mtxrun --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -c \"set tabstop=8\" \"test.tex\""
 
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. However, both will make vim open a new file named "tabset=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.

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
