Re: [NTG-context] mtxrun --noquotes on windows

I think I may not write it clear in my previous email. I run the command as

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? Aditya

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
