Jay Taylor:
Folks, whatever I do, I cannot about this error “line 17: found character that cannotstart any token” - basically I have to fix every single line when I copy paste in VI. I have tried Visual Mode - pls help. I know this is ridiculously basic, but I cannot get it right.
Cheng-Lung Sung:
type :% s,\t, ,g
Tej_Singh_Rana:
Try :set paste
to copy paste in VI editor.
Paolo:
Alternatively you can force spaces as tabs with :set expandtab
and then force a :retab
to change all existing tabs. A few keystrokes that save current and upcoming headaches.
Jay Taylor:
appreciate it guys ! I’ll try this
