Re: .vimrc problem with "autocmd" section, how to resolve?

I debugged this further:

This block causes problems with a newer vim:

" Return to last edit position when opening files (You want this!)

autocmd BufReadPost *

     \ if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |

     \   exe "normal! g`\"" |

     \ endif

Hi,

I'm trying to start vim using an init file and vim is complaining at startup.  The same startup file works on other operating systems with vim.

Does anyone know what the cause could be?

Thanks

This is the feedback at startup:

$ vim

--- Autocommands ---

vimStartup  BufRead

*if line("'\"") >= 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") && &ft !~# 'commit' |   exe "normal! g`\"" | endif

filetypedetect  BufRead

*if !did_filetype() && expand("<amatch>") !~ g:ft_ignore_pat | runtime! scripts.vim | endif

*if !did_filetype() && expand("<amatch>") !~ g:ft_ignore_pat    && (getline(1) =~ '^#' || getline(2) =~ '^#' || getline(3) =~ '^#'^I|| getline(4) =~ '^#' || getline(5) =~ '^#') |   setf FALLBACK conf | endif

Press ENTER or type command to continue

Removing this from the .vimrc resolves the issue:
