  1. When i tried this the error comes on the screen :
    bash: au: command not found.
    I am working on ubuntu.
    Any help on this ??

  2. ravisguptaji,
    Probably u tried to execute the “.vimrc” script
    from the command line. You don’t have to do that.
    Just save this file at $HOME. Open your SystemVerilog
    file in vim/GVIM. That’s it.
