Why is it, when you compile and run these using Visual Studio 2005,
the escape sequence is displayed diffently ?

The first one is displayed with a TAB lenght of 4 space charaters,
while the second is only displayed with the TAB length of 2 space
characters ?

std::cout << "Before one TAB escape sequence |\t| after one TAB
escape sequence." << std::endl;

std::cout << "Before one TAB escape sequence\tafter the TAB escape
sequence." << std::endl;

Effects of outputting special characters is platform-specific. Why
don't you ask about those in a Windows programming newsgroup?

hmm...Windows programming newsgroup...you mean like MFC and such ?

No, I don't mean like MFC and such. I mean a Windows programming NG.

This C++ code, is just made for the console window, but I haven't
posted the whole code ;-)

There is no such concept as "console window" in C++. If you cannot
ask your question without involving that, you're stuck with platform-
specificity. The list of newsgroups to consider is in in the FAQ.
