Problem
I am trying to determine whether the following string of characters has a TAB character after the “e.”
e. Custom Fields [HMC: SteveKairys FinalTest 6
I copied into NOTEPAD++, and enable the Show White Space and TAB function from the View > Show Symbol menu, hoping there was a mode to display the TAB character.
But I’m not seeing it.
How can I determine if a TAB character exists in the text string?
Solution
The little dots shown indicated a spaces and the arrow character is indicated a TAB character. In NOTEPAD++, PsPad, and other text editors all showing special characters this way.
Show White Space and TAB view option in Notepad++ displays yellow dots for White Spaces and yellow arrows for TAB indents in the script. This function can save precious time locating places where the indentation is wrong.
