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

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.

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.

So it is not mtxrun's fault.

You mean tabstop=8?

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?

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.

I am beginning to suspect that it is a shell problem rather than a mtxrun
problem. Mtxrun passes the correct commands and quotes to the shell, but
the shell for some reason ignores that.

It may be windows has problem to handle the space in quoted parameters?
write those commands to a batch file then call by mtxrun works right. May be
it is a solution. :)
