get my_configs.vim working

[robertmarkbram]

I have .vim_runtime\my_configs.vim with some config in it:
:let NERDTreeIgnore=['.vim$', '.bak$', '~$']

But when I open NERDtree, I still all the bak files. I know that the command works because in vim, I can enter it directly, refresh NERDtree and the bak files disappear. How can I trouble shoot this to get vim to pick up my_configs.vim?

let NERDTreeIgnore=['.vim$', '.bak$', '~$']

Sorry, typo there. I do have this (i.e. no leading colon) and it isn't being picked up.
let NERDTreeIgnore=['.vim$', '.bak$', '~$']

You missed the backlash "".

No, that's github.com changing what I copy and paste into this text field! Here is what I have

Ah, solved it. Am on Cygwin and had to make sure the file was in the right format etc..

chmod 777 my_configs.vim
dos2unix.exe my_configs.vim
