Hi All,
For some reason in VFP7 SP1, the tab character (CHR(9)) is being converted to spaces when output using the SET ALTERNATE TO
command. Actually I have noticed that it's tabbing to a specific column (like in Word).
How do I force VFP to just output the tab character?
Here's my code:
SET ALTERNATE TO ("log.txt")
SET ALTERNATE ON
?"XXX" + CHR(9) + "YYY"
?"A" + CHR(9) + "B"
SET ALTERNATE OFF
SET ALTERNATE TO
This generates the following outputXXX YYY
A B
I have made sure that the "Keep Tabs" option is selected in the Options | IDE tab for text files.
TIA.
