Re: E431

Open the tags file itself and see if it kinda ok. Maybe there is a malformed line. Tags files are text files with every line showing a search pattern and file location. Just verify if the tagfile if ok.

Hi there,

Trying to lean how to use tags.

So downloaded a project and

cd projet/
ctags -R .
vim file.php
:set tags=absolute path to tags file
position cursor on a function
Ctrl-]

which triggers the error

E431 format error in tags file tags
before byte 62

A search on the Internet shows a lot of pages but none that helped me.

I'm using Debian 10.3
ctags --version

Thanks for any help.
