Tabs in code trigger tab-completion in tmux about r-box

[randy3k]

that's strange...
my advise is not to use tabs anyway

[mreq]

I never do, just noticed that from a script which I've gotten in class.

[randy3k]

I confirm this bug..

[randy3k]

it is actually triggered by the terminal R completion. For instance, if you type "mu" and then "tab" in the terminal, it will give you "multipleClasses".
one possible fix is to change every \t to space unless it is a string.

[mreq]

How about we create a regexp which replaces non-line-leading tabs with spaces somewhere around https://github.com/randy3k/R-Box/blob/master/sendtext.py#L53? Something like

re.sub(r'(\w)\t+', r'\1 ', cmd)

[randy3k]

A problem of this is that it also changes string

re.sub(r'(\w)\t+', r'\1 ', "\"a\t=\tb\"")

I am coming up with a regex which only match non-string "\t"..but it is hard...

[mreq]

Not as effective as regex, but iterating over the string might work.

[randy3k]

may be, we can still use expandtabs of re.sub and forget about the string issue.
User handling strings should be using "\t" then an actually tab.
