I've the following dummy file created via:
echo -e "a a\tb b\tc c" > file
Is there any literal for space which I can use for motion argument?
For example this works (which removes the 1st a a
column):
ex +'%norm df ' -sc'%p|q!' file
but only when the whitespace was typed manually by Ctrl+V-Ctrl+Tab.
I've tried already: \t
, <Tab>
, <c-v><Tab>
, etc., but without success.
