Hi

You mean to enable syntax highlighting ?

:syntax on

And if you do not like the default highlighting scheme, change it. For example :

:colorscheme blue

Hi Feherke,

Thanks for your reply,
after I put :syntax on
the reply is
Can't open file /opt/vim/5.4.0.0/solaris/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim

that file doesn't exist.
is there anywhere I can download this file and change the path of this file?

thanks

Hi

Sorry, my knowledge ends here. I am not a [tt]vim[/tt] fan.

( By the way, this question has nothing to do with scripting. forum80 would be a better place to post it. )

I use vim on windows AND LOVE IT!!! If you are forced to edit files in a Windows environment and want to use vi then vim is the best tool EVER!

I don't know if my syntax.vim is the same, but here is the code for it. Just create the file you mentioned is missing and put this code in it. Good luck:

" Vim syntax support file
" Maintainer:	Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>
" Last Change:	2001 Sep 04

" This file is used for ":syntax on".
" It installs the autocommands and starts highlighting for all buffers.

if !has("syntax")
  finish
endif

" If Syntax highlighting appears to be on already, turn it off first, so that
" any leftovers are cleared.
if exists("syntax_on") || exists("syntax_manual")
  so <sfile>:p:h/nosyntax.vim
endif

" Load the Syntax autocommands and set the default methods for highlighting.
runtime syntax/synload.vim

" Load the FileType autocommands if not done yet.
if exists("did_load_filetypes")
  let s:did_ft = 1
else
  filetype on
  let s:did_ft = 0
endif

" Set up the connection between FileType and Syntax autocommands.
" This makes the syntax automatically set when the file type is detected.
augroup syntaxset
  au! FileType *	exe "set syntax=" . expand("<amatch>")
augroup END


" Execute the syntax autocommands for the each buffer.
" If the filetype wasn't detected yet, do that now.
" Always do the syntaxset autocommands, for buffers where the 'filetype'
" already was set manually (e.g., help buffers).
doautoall syntaxset FileType
if !s:did_ft
  doautoall filetypedetect BufRead
endif

However, if you are missing this file, I would think that your install of vim is incomplete. You would probably be better served getting a current complete vim install for your OS.
