Double quote in vimrc not take as comment

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

  1. I'm using tcsh and I use a .gvimrc file which was working fine with my previous ksh shell. But while sourcing, I'm getting messages like 'Unmatched " '. I'm not trying anything fancy but just using " for commenting in the very first line and I see the error is thrown right there.

  2. Statements like " syntax on " and "colorscheme desert" are also not recognized as command.

Any input on these appreciated. Thanks !

Your question doesn't make any sense. The .gvimrc file is read by gvim when it starts up. The gvim utility does not know and does not care what shell was used to invoke it.

If you are sourcing a gvim start-up file in a ksh shell script or in a tcsh shell script; why are you doing that? The commands expected by gvim in a gvim start-up file are not shell commands!
