Unusual search'n'replace error with tabs

AlanStewart · Post by **AlanStewart** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 10:44 pm

I just found something interesting with search'n'replace in 3.97n. I've got some lines with spaces and I wanted to replace those spaces with tabs. So, for the sake of example, I've got

* * // Two *s separated by 8 spaces.

Then I want to replace " " with "\t\t\t" (change 8 spaces to 3 tabs).

What I end up with is

* \t * // *-tab-"\t"-tab-*

Not quite what I wanted but I guess I can then just change the \t to a real tab character and be happy.

Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks,
Alan

I grabbed it, unpacked it into my Zeus directory (not the one in Users) and tested it and it seems to work now! YAY!

Er. Almost. Now all of a sudden it can't find my macros? Or rather the macro includes?

Alright. That seems golden. I'll keep plugging away and let you know if anything else unusual shows up.
