UFT-8 and illegal sequences

[Patrick Texier]

I'm Using gVim 7.1.293 (huge with multibyte_ime/dyn, iconv/dyn...) on
Windows.

I'm using the following _vimrc.
====== _vimrc ==========
if has("multi_byte")
if &enc !~? '^u'
if &tenc == ""
let &tenc = &enc
endif
set enc=utf-8
endif
set fencs=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1
lan fr_FR.UTF-8
endif " }}}
==========================

I want call gVim from an external program (LifeLines) with a UTF-8 BOM
temporary file but a can have illegal UFT-8 like :

1 FAMS @F16797@ {{(F16797) 1h,1w,0ch, B de Talleyrand-PÃ m. A. Morel }}
!
é without 2nd byte --+
I get :

enc=uft-8
fenc=latin1 (and not utf-8)

I want to force fenc to uft-8 but the following calling command doesn't
work :

c:\vim\vim71\gvim.exe -c"++enc=utf-8" -f
c:\vim\vim71\gvim.exe -c"set fencs=utf-8" -f

'fileencodings', no matter what you set it to, will never detect a file
as UTF-8 if it contains invalid UTF-8 sequences.

To force opening as UTF-8, try (after setting 'enc' to utf-8, see
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=789 )

:e ++enc=utf-8 foobar.txt

(replacing, of course, foobar.txt by the filename), see ":help ++opt".

WARNING: Any invalid bytes will be replaced by ? (question mark, 0x3F).

Best regards,
Tony.

Thanks Tony. I'm using

:e! ++enc=uft-8

All invalid bytes are in comments between {{ ... }} and not written in
database.

I will report (for fix) this LifeLines bug.
