打开现有文件时，gVim不显示任何内容

Question

When I type vim hello.py in the command prompt to open my file the command prompt the gVim editor opens up however it does not display the one line of text contained in the hello.py file. Why is this? I just want to edit the file.

Answer 1

Are you sure you are in the same directory as hello.py?

Otherwise, gVim will open a new buffer called "hello.py", which on save will be written to whatever directory you are currently in.
