[Swift-devel] Fwd: [Swift-user] Question: Setting environment variables

[Michael Wilde]

David, we should fix this whitespace issue in parsing tc.data. Its a common problem that new users (and old) encounter.

We held off on this because the original code to parse that file comes from the older VDS system and is now I think supported by Pegasus.  Either way, we should fix it: first see if Pegasus has it fixed; else fix it ourselves and post them a fix.

Can you use this as an exercise to look for similar bug reports in Swift bugzilla, and file one and/or update the existing one, and fix the problem?

Thanks,

Mike

Did you make sure that all the fields are separated by a tab character, not spaces?
If that was not the cause, I'll need to double-check and test my syntax.

(please send all your replies back to the swift-user list).
