    Wont replace tabulator

    Code:
        for (int i = 1; i < Length; i++)
        {
          if (Text[i] == '\t')
          {
            Text[i] = ' ';
          }
        }
    How come that this code wont work. If Text haves one or more tabulators it don't find them and replace them with spaces. What am I doing wrong here?

    *Edit*

    BTW Text is an AnsiString (kind of like String) if that is of any importance.
    Well english isn't my first language, (it's instead a useless language called danish which only 5 milion people speak!!) so if you think my grammar SUCKS (it does by the way) than you're more then welcome to correct me.
    Hell I might even learn something

    And how do I do that?

    For some reason you have to start at 1 when working with AnsiString though its abnormal. Borlands help files says it too.

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
