Hi, This is a tiny contribution to be able to write tabs using '\t' in string or character constants in scripts. Just go to as_compiler.cpp, in the ProcessStringConstant() method, line 4248 and adds the following two lines: else if( cstr[n] == 't' ) str.PushLast('\t'); So you get: ... else if( cstr[n] == 'r' ) str.PushLast('\r'); else if( cstr[n] == 't' ) str.PushLast('\t'); else if( cstr[n] == '0' ) str.PushLast('\0'); ... Notice I placed it between '\r' and '\0' but it could be added in other places. Then you'll be able to write in your scripts something like: ... string MyString = "\tThis text is tabbed.\n"; int tabChar = '\t'; ...

Thanks, I'll add this to the script library.

It's odd that nobody complained about it before, as it is a rather common escape char, or perhaps not as common as I thought. :)

Tab can be entered directly into the script, so the escape isn't totally neccessary. So no one complained because they just pressed tab instead.
