[Barcode4j-users] tab character

[dirk o. <di...@on...>]

Hello,

first of all, i've been using barcode4j for a while in my application
and it works fine. thanks for that.

today i needed to create a barcode of a string that contains a tab (the
reason for this is that the barcode needs to fill up 2 fields in an html
form). so i tried to provide this string to the barcode4j 'message'
field in different ways '\t', (char)9, ..., but whatever i tried the tab
was replaced by a single whitespace (on the printout and after
scanning). i am using code128 and started reading about code set A, B
and C and even tried to include code set switches in the string, but
without any success. i'm probably missing something basic here. any
suggestion?

cheers,
dirk
