(setq forms-file "/etc/passwd")
(setq forms-number-of-fields 7)
(setq forms-read-only t)
(setq forms-field-sep ":")
(setq forms-multi-line nil)
(setq forms-format-list
(list
"====== /etc/passwd ======\n\n"
"User : " 1
" Uid: " 3
" Gid: " 4
"\n\n"
"Name : " 5
"\n\n"
"Home : " 6
"\n\n"
"Shell: " 7
"\n"))
^D
1. emacs -Q
2. M-: (custom-set-variables '(major-mode (quote text-mode))) RET
3. M-x forms-find-file RET C-S-backspace ~/test-forms-control-file.el RET
This recipe results in the error
find-file-noselect: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
whereas, if Step 2 is omitted, Forms Mode works correctly.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can provide any more
information.
