Use regexps in your searches. to be clear, he's talking about: #define<space>FOO vs: #define<tab>FOO they render the same when using 8 spaces for tabs, and it semi-frequently gets intermixed in our headers. like bits/fcntl.h still has this problem -- some use tabs, some use spaces. i tend to think "#define<space>FOO" is much more common, but i didn't do a survey of our code base. i'm not saying we should make the change because his regex is simple, but i am saying we should make the change because it's pointlessly inconsistent and is annoying when making changes (like when indenting the "define" from the "#" and have the resulting lines don't match the other half). -mike
