XYplorer Beta Club
I see strange effects if I use tab-characters in script-caption or -ID. The ID isn't recognized, if there's a tab in front of it's ':', and the following Menu will show strange characters for the Tab. (But a Tab in front of :: seems to be no problem...)
I think the tab should be interpreted as at least one space? Then following would be correct:
(I will use > to represent Tab-character in the sample)
Test3>L5>::input $1, Enter Text, default
>>::msg text = $1
The Tab having a problem seems to be the first one, directly in front of :
This would be shown 'perfectly formatted' in editor. (And I like this aligned view!)

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

My experience is that tabs normally cause a 4 char indent as typical/minimum, and 8 chars is 2nd most common...I can't recall any times where it's only 2 chars.PeterH wrote:A reason, why you substitute 2 space chars for a tab?

Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

In edit tab expands to 1-7 spaces, as is neccessary for alignment. There can be other values for other programs - so XY will not be able to do this 1:1.j_c_hallgren wrote:My experience is that tabs normally cause a 4 char indent as typical/minimum, and 8 chars is 2nd most common...I can't recall any times where it's only 2 chars.
The problem was the function: tab followed by : wasn't recognized. So I had expected that tab would (for function) be replaced by just one space.
But as I said: it really doesn't matter.

But of course, PeterH is right: in this context it does not matter at all. As long as you don't place tabs in the middle of your script captions, you won't note any difference.FAQ | XY News RSS | XY X
