Re: BUG - *Matching rules won't match multiple tabs.

I just downloaded your test code and found that your code was simply 
incorrect.  You have this:

editfiles:
	{ /home/skaven/tmp/jo/testfile
		DeleteLinesMatching "^0^I^I1"
	}

I got this to work fine by replacing it with this:

any::
     # Using "real" tabs (not ^I)
     { /home/skaven/tmp/jo/testfile
         DeleteLinesMatching "^0     1.*"
     }

Or even this:

any::
     # Using ${tab} macro
     { /home/skaven/tmp/jo/testfile
         DeleteLinesMatching "^0${tab}${tab}1.*"
     }

Note that in both cases, all that is needed is the trailing ".*" to make 
the regex work.

So I have to agree with the others on this thread -- this isn't a bug -- 
you are just not using a full-line regex, or perhaps you've gotten 
yourself confused with :set list versus what's actually in your code.
