I want the TabPage to display "M & P" in its tab.
The tab displays "M && P".
I am using VS 2008 for Windows Forms applications.
Thanks
TagPage .Text accepts a single ampersand.
You have to put 3 ampersands in to get 2 ampersands out.
Use a single & character.

Is it possible for the autocomplete feature of vscode to accept only part of the suggestions on Tab?
Basically, we can specify the word separators characters in settings but the autocomplete feature seems to ignore these and replace the complete full word either way.
What I want, for example, is that by specifying the word separator "_" the autocomplete won't replace the full suggestion but only until this character which should effectively be considered the end of the word.
For example, having semi_completions_foo() declared and having written only the initial "se".
"se" + Tab -> "semi_"
"semi_" + Tab -> "semi_completions_"
On the other hand by pressing Enter the full suggestion would be accepted.
"se" + Enter -> "semi_completions_foo"
Is this already implemented?
This is currently not supported by default as of VS Code 1.35 but is tracked by this feature request.
However VS Code does support tabbing through suggestion alternatives after you accept a completion with tab. Just press tab again to switch to the next suggestion from the list.
When you search for a string in Visual Studio Code with Ctrl-F it doesn't display number of occurrences.
Is it possible to find out somehow?
On the other hand it displays a number of hits next to a filename when you search all files with Ctrl-Shift-F.
Once you have the search bar pulled up with Ctrl-F, click the triangle on the left side of the search bar. The occurrence count of your search term will be displayed.
Happy coding!
I had the same problem as csonuryilmaz mentioned in the comment to this answer, I needed the exact count of the string, even if it is 19999+. I ended up opening the file in Notepad++, there you can count all occurences when searching for a string.
Maybe not the best solution if you want/have to use only Visual Studio Code, but for my problem this was a good enough workaround.
On Windows, you can count string occurrences with the command FIND /C "string you're searching" filename.txt
So on VSCode, you can open the console (ctrl + ') and type the command. It's one workaround to count string on large files without have to install any new extensions.
click the down faced triangle and then choose 'find all'
and then the matched string number should be visible on the bottom left:
I cannot figure out how to do this for the life of me apart from doing a find-replace on 4 spaces and converting to tabs (Version 0.10.2). I can't think of an editor/IDE that doesn't have a specific feature to do this. Does VSCode?
Since fix of: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/1228 the editor supports it out of the box. Simply go for:
F1,
indentationToSpaces or indentationToTabs (depending on your need)
Enter.
Another way to do it is click the current indentation (Tab/Spaces:n) on the footer which will open your indentation options where you can select what you want to do.
If you are trying to convert non-leading tabs to spaces (or vice versa) you can use a regex search and replace.
Press CTRL + H
Click the .* button to search using regular expressions.
To search for tabs enter [\t] in Find box.
Enter spaces in Replace box and perform your replace.
Search box in regex mode:
To round out these answers, I will add my take for converting each tab to n spaces.
Highlight a tab character
Use CTRL + F2 select all occurrences
Press SPACE n times
This is the easiest way to do this (going beyond only converting leading tabs).
Note that this does not convert consecutive tabs to k spaces. It converts each tab. For consecutive tabs please see my comment on jrupe's answer. You will need VS Code find and replace with regular expressions to accomplish that.
Select Replace: CTRL-H
Enter Horizontal Tab in Find box: hold ATL and type 009 on the keypad.
Enter a space(or more spaces) into the Replace box: press space bar
Press Enter to begin replacing Tabs with Space(s).
Press F1 and then type into textbox convert indentation to spaces or whatever you want ones
On Visual Studio, Ctrl+K+F did the trick for me.
Fast forward to 2020/2021, there are some extensions that will give us that conversion. I have just needed that functionality (hence I found this article), and searching for extensions I found:
geocode.spacecadet - providing both TAB->SPC and SPC->TAB, but not updated since 2017, with 1.3k installs, 3.5 review
takumii.tabspace - TAB->SPC, from 2020, 1.5k installs, no reviews
pygc.spacetab - SPC->TAB, from... wait, literally yesterday! (or today depending on your TZ), 2 installs, no reviews
I am using scratch.mit.edu version 2.0 on the internet and writing a program to evaluate a postfix expression. As I iterate through the input string such as: "23+" (postfix) letter by letter using the letter..of...block, it works fine.
I then add a letter.. of.. block to identify a spacebar character so the user can insert blanks in the expression eg "2 3 +"
However, there seems no way to recognize a blank character. I tried
1) Lookahead = ""
2) Lookahead =' '
3) Lookahead =''
None of which pick up that a space has been encountered.
Here is the project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/77653712/
In Scratch, the box is the string literal - no quotes, unless you're looking for literal quotes. Just put a space in the box.
Just set it to check <(Lookahead) = [ ]>: (brackets are the symbol for the box)
(That black line is me pressing ctrl+a to highlight and show that it exists.)
OK, I have found the solution. There is no character to represent a blank. You simply press space bar once!
You can see the letter nextChar of blanks is an empty space but, you must add space using the spacebar for it to work!!
In OpenEdge the tab can be configured to any number of spaces, usually is configured to 4 spaces.
To insert a tab in a text can be used: ~t.
What I want to find is how many spaces have the tab set.
For example, I am reading a file line by line, and for each line I want to see how many spaces are at the beginning.
I am using:
iNoOfBeginningSpaces = index (cLine, left-trim (cLine)) - 1.
But if the line begins with 3 tabs then it gives me 3, and not the number of the spaces: 3 * spaces from tab.
Is there a way to find the number of beginning spaces of a line, treating the tab as x numbers of spaces?
No. Spaces and tabs are not the same thing. You are getting confused by the fact that programming editors, word processors and printers convert tabs to spaces to get to tab stops. But in a data file no such conversion occurs (unless you are saving the file from an editor that does such conversions).
I will tell you how to check in your AppBuilder.
On the AppBuilder Menu you go to OPTIONS and then EDITING OPTIONS and there you can set how much "spaces" the editor uses for Tabs and Syntax indents. But this is basically for DISPLAY purposes within APPBUILDER.
Tom has given you the correct technical answer, a tab is a type of control character that can be interpreted differently by different apps. It has a different value than spaces.Below you can see the value of space and Horizontal Tab.
