Allow easier tab-delimited output

[goodevilgenius]

There doesn't seem to be a simple way to specify tab-delimited output.

E.g., I've tried q -D '\t' and q -D "\t", but both fail to produce tabs.

q -D "$(echo -e '\t')" works (in BASH anyway), but is needlessly complicated.

Since -t is shorthand for -d <tab>, perhaps -T can be shorthand for -D <tab>.

What you are looking for is -D $'\t' which works as expected.

You're right. Didn't think about it. I agree that -T is the proper parameter name.

Already committed to my working master. Will be part of the coming version, 1.4.0.

Thanks

@bonki - Thanks for helping with the comment.

Done, with -T. Will be integrated into the coming 1.4.0 version.

I decided to make the -t and -T flags stronger than their manual -d/-D counterparts. Meaning, that if there is one of the T flags, it will cause any D flags to be ignored.

The reason for that is that if someone is using the .qrc file, they will be able to override it with a T flags if needed.

Just released 1.4.0. Fixed.
