Hi;
How can I embed a \t within an echo string?
I tried to console and file, with and without
message attribute, to no avail.
I believe this is an XML thing. You might find an XML parser that would preserve a hard tab character in a buildfile, but as I understand it the tab character is not defined in XML so the behavior of (e.g. Xerces) is to interpret it as a space. That what appears to be happening when I run:
<project> <echo message="foo bar" /> <!-- that was a tab between foo and bar but my HTML form-based e-mail won't let me do it ;) --> </project>
Can you just use several spaces? You could even do:
<property name="tab" value=" " /> and use ${tab} wherever you want...
Neat idea. Thanks. -nat
