I'm not going to get too hopeful, but is there a character or something that represents an indent in Java? I need to be able to get the indexOf() an indent.

Thanks.

A  character that represents an indent?  All I can think of is tab... "\t".

if you create a char variable and give it the value of 9 it'll be a tab.

i.e.

Code:

public static void main(String[] args) {

char tab = 9;
System.out.println("blah" + tab + "fasdf");

}

so yeah, 9 is the ascii number for the tab.

I would recommend you type out some indents and then programmatically output the ascii value?
