I need some help. I can open files and write to them, that's trivial enough. I am reading from one file and writing certain contents of it to another file. My problem is when I write tabs that I have read from the first file. The tabs in the output take up more whitespace than the original. Same number of tabs (I checked), it's just "wider." Is there anyway to force my program to read the tabs and store them exactly as they appear? I never had this problem manipulating strings before. But then again, this is the first time I am doing it C#. Thanks.

Are you sure it isn't just a display issue? A tab is a tab is a tab (a (char)9 or whatever).

You were right. My text editor was acting weird. I got it sorted now. Thanks.
