| Description: |
The current version (tcllib0.8) of tabify and untabify does not behave as any editor would, which IMHO is counter-intuitive and thus limits their use. I wrote two new procs tabify2 / untabify2 which behave differently and some tests for them. Any comments will be appreciated Helmut Giese ([email protected]) | |||

I added nroff documentation for the two functions, reformatted the tcl code to adhere to the general style of tcl (indentation) and braced several expressions for speed. Test question: What happens if I feed a string already containing tabs in some positions to tabify ? Are these taken into account when replacing spaces ? I believe not. Algorithm question: Why does it work backward through a line ? nobody added on 2001-07-06 18:38:22: File Added - 8124: diff.txt | |||
