Notepad ++ error with GroupManager and/or Permissions

Craft Bukkit 530
Windows 7

This is the error I get when I use Notepad ++ with either of the 2 permissions.
I was wondering why this happens. I met some1 who said I shouldnt use ffice word for my text editor, but it works, and Notepad ++ doesnt.

Code:

This line explain everything.
found character '\t' that cannot start any token in "<reader>", line 19, column 17:
'\t' means that you have used tab.

 

In Notepad++, do Settings>Preferences>Language Menu/Tab Settings>check Replace by space. This will make all "tabs" 5 spaces long. However I don't think it will replace tabs that are already there.

 

I did NOT use tabs. To make sure I use the backup config from groupmanager and tried using spaces like I always do. The same problem appears.

EDIT: I did not see the above post that fixed it.

Basically the tab was set to 4 so 4 spaces made a tab. I did make a tab by not actually pressing tab ._.

W/e but it works. Thank you both.

 

See you had a tab character somewhere in your note

 

Basically I used SPACES but it got recognized as a tab ._.
