Re: Converting tab to lws

I work mostly with C/C++ code where tabs are everywhere. They "used" to screw up the compiles but that was fixed a good while ago but the source displayed in debug is all over the place. With my favorite editor - UltraEdit - these sort of conversion options are a simple click. The list of features in UltraEdit (and UltraCompare!) that I wish were in Rdi is a long list indeed.

I cut & paste from other application, that use tabs... <frown>

But, to view the Tabs in my lpex editor, I change the preference to see white-space...

I have this entry:
Horizontal Tabulation (0X0009) Display characters: (0X00BB)

Anyway, it allows me to see the Tabs....

PS. Normally, I use NotePad++ to remove/check for special characters. It is much easier and faster for me... <LOL>

Would be great to have an option to AUTOMATICALLY change tabs to spaces, since it is invalid in our RPGLE code... Maybe there is already RFE out there for that? Don't know...

Is there an option in Rdi to convert tabs to white space?
