Hi Karl.
Details:
consider a record like this:
quantity: 4
Now, if I use a single space between the colon and the number, it is removed
from the output of recsel -P quantity. Good.
But if I use a tab, the tab appears in the output. That seems
wrong.
Yes, it is a bug. I just pushed a fix for it.
I suggest that recfix check for multiple spaces, especially trailing ones.
It
would be nice if it could also fix it, but that looks like new
functionality,
so I suppose it's fine to leave it for the user. Not like it's hard.
Warning about trailing spaces looks like a good idea to me.
Thanks.
