AFAIK, @TAB is a character in itself, so you're just gonna have to have multiple spaces.

The @TAB character tells the application that displays the text to move on to the next tab position.

So it depends on the application where to position the text after the @tab.

What application do you use?

I am using @tab in AutoIt in TrayCreateItem("GWT Deploy" & @TAB & " [Ctrl+F11]")

The tab works to align the Accelerator key. However, it takes on 8 characters. I will like to use it for 4 instead.

Doesn't work (here).

You get "GWT Deploy0 [Ctrl+F11]" in the tray because the calculation @Tab / 2 doesn't return a valid result ( = "0").

I think you'll have to replace @TAB by four spaces.

Just divide it by two:

TrayCreateItem("GWT Deploy" & @TAB / 2 & " [Ctrl+F11]")

It's a joke. Laugh dammit

Are you sure about that?

You've got a bit confused there trancexx, because @tab/2 is actually an eigth of space, so for one space you would need

Chr(Int(Asc(@tab)/2)*8)

Aha!

I knew this day would come.

You have a memory leak in your code. See (it's extremely well commented so that everybody can follow):

$sSpace = Chr(Int(Asc(@TAB) / 2) * 8) ; this is your brilliance

$vOtherHalfOfTheTab = @TAB / 2 ; you forgot about this completely
$vOtherHalfOfTheTab = 0 ; Free memory!

...is actually an eigth of space, so

Space can't be measured. It's just huge.

... now back from the void(*).
