vimgrep over arglist doesn't work on Windows #361
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. Use vim on Windows
1. Have a few files in your arglist with full paths.
E.g.
\Work\test.py \Users\User\another.py
2. do the following command
:vimgrep /def/ ##
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
vimgrep should find all mentions of "def" in the two files in my arglist.
Instead I get a long pause and finally an error complaining about a bad path
Cannot open file "\\Work\\test.py"
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Aug 25 2014 04:20:13)
MS-Windows 32-bit console version
running on Win 8.1 x64
Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is presumably that when ## is expanded it doubles the backslash
which isn't supported for vimgrep
