BUG: Variables not working, if TAB is used as spacer

Dear Didier,
I have found the following undesired behaviour:
If TAB spaces are used to separate the parameters of an element, VARIABLES placed as parameters will not work.

Using normal space characters everything works as expected.
Could you fix that? It is nice to structure the file with tab spaces for visibility.
Best regards,
Hendrik

Dear Hendrik,
Are you sure that TAB_space is the problem here
I think the rigth syntax should be "Line: Multipole 1 100 100 0 26"
And yes the manual is not clear, it's 0 for B and 1 for E.
Regards,
Didier

Yes, I can replicate with a drift:

The Syntax is correct, but the TAB spaces generate this error. My Multipole definition was correct. The issue is with tabstop characters and variables.
so
"VARIABLE driftlength 10"
"DRIFT [SPACEBAR] driftlength [SPACEBAR] 8.75" --> works without error
"VARIABLE driftlength 10"
"DRIFT [TAB] driftlength [TAB] 8.75" --> throws the error
Best regards,
Hendrik

Sorry for my misunderstanding, I didn't realise you were using the 'VARIABLE' command.
Okay, that's fixed.
