Reporting this here because I'm not sure where else to post it and also because it's perhaps already been reported as a bug.
I have a web page that contains tab-delimited text. When I go to that page using Watir and the following code... x = browser.text p x The output I get looks like this: "INFO\t2011-06-27\t14:50:00\t64.134.184.142\tuiderror\t3553\t\tlanding\t1\t1309200599590:7661643759616469\tiobox42\t0\tn/a\t0\tUnknown..." Notice the escaped tabs. That's the important part. Now, if I use Watir-webdriver and go to the same page and use that exact same code, here is my output: "INFO 2011-06-27 14:50:00 64.134.184.142 uiderror 3553 landing 1 1309200599590:7661643759616469 iobox42 0 n/a 0 Unknown..." See? The tabs are converted to spaces. That's bad, because I am parsing this output as tab-delimited. Switching to space-delimited isn't really feasible because there are lines in the output that have spaces. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
