Re: Error in bash syntax file

i can confirm that using the latest sh.vim file from your website (installed as you suggested, in my private .vim directory) fixes the problem. Thank you for that.


Regarding your comment:

I don't know if it is ever explicitly mentioned, but it is pretty clear that @ can generally be used throughout to refer to all the args together, sort of as if they were all concatenated together. I find the bash man page large and complicated, so I can't say for sure how explicitly stated this is.

Also, just out of passing interest, I tested this under VIM 7.4 at some point and the bug did not present, so it seems to have been introduced between then and now.

Anyway, I am considering this as "problem solved".

The following line of legal bash code gets flagged as an error:

echo ${@:i:1}

The above line displays the i'th command line argument.

I am running vim 8.1, with lots of patches applied.  My sh.vim files (3 of them) are all dated Jun 15, 2019.
