Hugo Estrada's House of Wonder

I needed to see how many tabs there were in a tab delimited file because it was failing column-length validation, even though it look on excel as if it had the right number of columns. I couldn't see the tabs on vim. What was the solution?

:set list

To turn it off, just close your editor window and open it again.

Just kidding, to turn it off:
:set nolist
