In the instant case I was looking for tabs in a rc file that requires
tabs and not spc... here is a sample:
(Its an rsnapshot.conf file)
There two tabs after each variable name... then the value:
# All snapshots will be stored under this root directory.
snapshot_root /bk/rsnap/home
cmd_cp /bin/cp
# uncomment this to use the rm program instead of the built-in perl routine
cmd_rm /bin/rm
Maybe its just a setting on my end and only tabs are invisible.
Do you see the two tabs by default?
