Im making a batch game, and made a “email” screen which looked like this
echo - INBOX (1) -
echo - OUTBOX -
echo - SPAM (3) -
If I use TAB for spacing, the batch display is different than if I use spaces
(if I use Spaces, the batch file displays it looking like it does in notepad)
Why is this?
(Screenshot: http://db.tt/z4NGvhUz – Top is with Spaces, bottom is with tab)
The TAB is one character that, when it is displayed in the screen, it is expanded to the next 8-character tabulation position. A text that contains Tabs is shown differently depending on the text that appears before the first Tab. Spaces are always spaces and are always shown in the same way.
