Please not that it should be [ %TAB%] (space %TAB%). It should not be used in the replacement text.

Will it preserve the column spacing with tabs between the columns?

In an .ids file, the spacing isn't that important. Nor is it in fact in .2da's either... unless you really mess it up by touching the column headers too.

I know the whitespace is ignored, but I'm a perfectionist. If it was tab separated originally, I want the patched version to be tab separated too! It's more readable.

Looking the file with Near Infinity, it's just one space between the number, and kitname/whatever.

OK, so not this file. Really my question is how to represent a tab in Weidu replacement text.

Thanks. So this would work also?

Hey guys. I'm working on an update of Refinements, and rather than rely on the FixPack (which you know I hate to do) I'd like to make this right, in the Refinements code, once and for all.
To do that, should I add Wisp's code in the spoiler 3 posts above?
Will that work both on the old TOB engine and also BG2EE? Does the BG2EE kit.ids even need this treatment? Can I just put that code between
ACTION_IF ENGINE_IS ~soa tob bgt~ BEGIN (yadda yadda code) END
?

Here's some working code if you like:Unfortunately, this needs one more change. The trailing asterisk actually allows the code to match stuff it shouldn't, , e.g. ~.*[ %TAB%]BLADE[ %TAB%]*~ will happily match a BLADEMASTER kit. So one more time:

The code has a SPACE between the bracket and the TAB's first percentage mark which I expect to make the difference of it not matching with BLADEM as it lacks that space and I haven't ran into a kit which .ids includes a space cause the additional functions that determines that can get messed up with one. Not that I know what's good and what's not.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD
Posted 24 March 2016 - 08:05 AM
No, that wasn't the issue. The problem with that trailing asterisk is that it means WeiDU would match BLADE followed by 0, 1, or more spaces/tabs. The problem is the 0-match case, which opens the door for matching BLADEfoo since it's technically BLADE followed by zero spaces/tabs. What I've done is forced WeiDU to match BLADE followed by at least one space, tab, or line break, which explicitly excludes BLADEfoo.
If someone's somehow installing kits with spaces in their names, that's on them--they're going to break a lot of IDS and 2DA tables.
