Re: VimDIFF - ONLY on the first field of two files ?

Christian,

I have installed your plugin, set diffopt in .vimrc and all the tests
work and

:EnhancedDiff histogram

command from your web page works but I can't get

EnhancedDiffIgnorePat ^[^;]\+;

or

EnhancedDiffIgnorePat ;[^;]\+$

to work with some manually created files like on your web page.

I tried looking at test.sh but I don't understand:

-c "if filereadable('vimrc') | so vimrc | endif'"

- what is "so"? - and there appears to be an unpaired single quote?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Phil.
