The fileformat is dos.

Yeah, you would think that would work. But the formatting is all off with the ^M characters inserted. Even simple things like the number of leading spaces from one line of code made up of a basic assignment statement to the next line.

I think that the root of the problem is that in the shell from GVim the file is getting treated as binary instead of text. Not sure how to fix that.

Typing that gave me a thought... I removed these lines...

set shell=c:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe
set shellcmdflag=-c

So, now the shell is "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe". Then when I run indent in GVim I don't get any ^M characters in the result.

I'd rather use the cygwin shell though.

Thanks,
Bill
