minor lister bug

Hi,

I've just realized something that has always been in lister and might be a bug. If you create a file that has no newline characters but does have tab characters, the tabs don't appear at all.
While after putting a newline at the end of the file, the tabs are visible.
Try

1<tab>2<tab>3

and

1<tab>2<tab>3<newline>

for instance.

Cheers,
J.

It's just work of autodetection. The first file is opened as binary, the second one - as text. Take a look at the Options Lister menu.

Correct - TC detects text files by the presence of at least one line break, and no characters in the 00-06 code range.

Okay, thanks. I should have realized that.
