Joris Huizer sez: } I hope someone can help on this problem I have: each } time I edit a file using VIM, " Vi IMproved 6.1 (2002 } Mar 24, compiled Apr 14 2002 20:41:29)" I get a } "temporary" copy of the original file. } } The naming is as follows: when I edit, say, trash.txt, } the "temporary" copy is named trash.txt~ } } I searched the web on the keywords: 'vi temporary } files debian' but it didn't help anything
This is neither debian-specific, nor are they temporary files. You are seeing backup files. } Can anybody tell me what might be causing the problem } ? I think this problem started after installing a gtk } version (to be able to run gvim - but I don't really } use that anyway) It also isn't a problem, it is a configuration option. Add the following line to your .vimrc and you shouldn't see any more backup files: set nobackup } Thanks for any help, } Joris --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
