With the default settings, all tabs are replaced by sp= aces in my output file.

 

Any solution for this problem?

What have you tried (that is, show us the command line you typed)? Are you sure you are quoting tab correctly for the shell you are using? Based on your comment about a Windows console window, I'm assuming you are using cmd (rather than a more traditional Unix-y shell like sh) as your shell, you are probably more likely to get a good answer from the GNUwin32 folks rather than here, since most readers of this list don't use cmd. Might I suggest instead trying the cygwin environment, where bash is pre-built for Windows, and which has traditional Unix quoting and is thus something that more readers of this list can help you with. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Tue Oct 30 01:05:42 2018 Received: (at 7057) by debbugs.gnu.org; 30 Oct 2018 05:05:42 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:53089 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1gHMDm-0005Ys-4b for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Tue, 30 Oct 2018 01:05:42 -0400 Received: from mail-io1-f47.google.com ([209.85.166.47]:34227) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1gHMDl-0005Yc-0k; Tue, 30 Oct 2018 01:05:41 -0400 Received: by mail-io1-f47.google.com with SMTP id d80-v6so6499265iof.1; Mon, 29 Oct 2018 22:05:41 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20161025; h=subject:to:references:from:message-id:date:user-agent:mime-version :in-reply-to:content-language:content-transfer-encoding; bh=86O0ejRpczAdVNYWBwpRhya0/o6GIKCin/CmQszqFZY=; b=a00DsrF1GhMEBtC81epf6r9wYkcfqcETjGHw52EyXctMQyQeytb+QGiTKBu4E9yMeO eR8SflJgfE6+RpaGnBTWDsiG+JH3rf7ZPhfzISVSI35n+7JJ45ypoZe8RBM433W7wKjG WXIFJFP1Xejowlk70216Mp6D94rpI29s1EIaIbvtqLlgz3sDJdJD79n+26eacRQAZO57 168kwjvppMboWbiXB2U6+oXt9CQ6YIu4aMnc9Xtttzddpctc5rOM9edFHLs4RYjcN735 zBKdPzxXl1ApK/LjiVYYL4G3jc3zNvEopxaeK4C+LsqN3k18mZwa6Q9OXibWZyC+9v8l TPQQ== X-Google-DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=1e100.net; s=20161025; h=x-gm-message-state:subject:to:references:from:message-id:date :user-agent:mime-version:in-reply-to:content-language :content-transfer-encoding; bh=86O0ejRpczAdVNYWBwpRhya0/o6GIKCin/CmQszqFZY=; b=im2qpDt9Bqw2YqY6H3CLFQXpuaF6YqkOUgekELQdy5p2HDNhfQavCncj23aMm2R2Fh KzhBAZUnf1Ut87oecWilCciApO8+6F/rZzgZm711Ddza50rnRBRmhy5JanetU9wQLg+R bkxpkJq+PZm4q66w/klX2aKpiBzbb8GouAeAMBPgan7O5CXEI2ZWYMdZyABRZR1pc/ka zv1Tu8EC4rx4ck/kmfnyPcyW0A63YvsBS4paZcMO7DxJhxN0MkHiUGUyH6n7SoDRvRR/ WZaUpcYpvmdlwMIcdB6JekF6shGy2KgXDxzPvTFFy8OSSdLRXlmeBfJFTWqc/jTThnPT TZVA== X-Gm-Message-State: AGRZ1gKYgAJd6HZMwWi1sVs6zc1S/1KzOsdHKDHD9jcuchPxekREOXQs Tqgz9pbSBy59b8nIRA7TfDPBd3HvqqU= X-Google-Smtp-Source: AJdET5f9+6uehjRK0fuUeLf8V/FjblC67+iVnzn/M0bH9VeiPfgRnMhoM9OmJfA6sUGXbuvwIGYExg== X-Received: by 2002:a6b:bd45:: with SMTP id n66-v6mr10518598iof.25.1540875935083; Mon, 29 Oct 2018 22:05:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tomato.housegordon.com (moose.housegordon.com.
