I think I found a bug in vim's highlighting, can you guys check this?

#!/bin/bash

 if [[ $(exec file -bi "${file[$i]}" 2> /dev/null) = application/pdf ]]; then # is this file a PDF document?
  if [[ ${file[$i]} != *.[pP][dD][fF] ]]; then # add ".pdf" to PDF files that aren't named *.[pP][dD][fF]
   mv "${file[$i]}" "${file[$i]}.pdf"
   file[$i]="${file[$i]}.pdf"
   datestamp "Added missing .pdf extension to PDF document ${filelog[$i]}"
   filelog[$i]="\"${file[$i]/$DROPBOX_FILE_ROOT\/}\""
  fi
 fi

The line ...

   filelog[$i]="\"${file[$i]/$DROPBOX_FILE_ROOT\/}\""

... makes the colors all wonky for the rest of whatever is under it.  This is all valid bash code too.  Talk about annoying!  vim looks like a bloodbath ... here's a screenshot...

Just posting this here in case there's something I don't know.  Don't want to send a bug report upstream unless you guys think I should ... vim's a granddaddy

As a workaround, I guess you could change the line to:

filelog[$i]='"'"${file[$i]/$DROPBOX_FILE_ROOT\/}"'"'

But yeah, I think it's a bug, or at least something that could be improved.

Heeey, good idea

filelog[$i]='"'"${file[$i]/$SIMPLIFYMD_DROPBOX_FILE_ROOT\/}"'"' # slash escape sequences breaks vim highlighting, wat?

Doesn't bother me   THANKS!

Leaving this thread open in case someone wants to shed some light on this

Yeah this problem is fairly common. Sometimes it goes away when a file is reloaded.
