Hi List, This is my first post. I've spent 2 days researching this simple problem, to no avail:
SITUATION: I have a (external) perl script that I call from vim/gvim (:!scriptname) to ftp the current buffer to a server. I run gvim by first running 'startx', and then from 'x', I run gvim. PROBLEM: I have a line that takes <STDIN> as confirmation of the upload (y/n). The script works fine in vim, but in gvim I can't find a way to end the keyboard input, so the script and gvim hang. Pressing <enter> gives a new line, and neither ctrl-d or ctrl-shft-d end the input either. The script works fine in gvim without the <STDIN> line. I use the script under linux gvim with no problem, and under cygwin vim and the vim in X. The only problem is in gvim in cygwin. This should be a simple fix, I just can't figure it out. The worst is that gvim hangs, and I can't end the script. I have to kill gvim, the perl process and clean the swp files manually. Unfun. Any help very appreciated.
