Hi.

I recently upgraded to the May 09 CTP and was no longer able to compile my project. Upon investigation I found that fslex/fsyacc is generating code files which include TAB characters and this is now treated as an error at compile time.

As a workaround I currently remove these TAB's in a pre-build step which works fine but I would rather not mess with generated code. So I would like to know if anybody else is having this problem? Am I doing something else wrong?

Current workaround:

Under Project Properties - Build Events - Pre-build event command line

fslex "$(ProjectDir)MyLexer.fsl"
fsyacc "$(ProjectDir)MyParser.fsy"
RemoveTabs "$(ProjectDir)MyLexer.fs" "$(ProjectDir)MyParser.fs"

and the following code for RemoveTabs:

open System
open System.IO

let RemoveTabs (fileName : string) =
let sr = new StreamReader(fileName)
let code = sr.ReadToEnd()
sr.Close()
let ncode = code.Replace("\t","")
let sw = new StreamWriter(fileName)
sw.Write(ncode)
sw.Close()
()

let args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
for k = 1 to args.Length - 1 do
RemoveTabs(args.[k])
