Merge Adjacent Delimiters

When the Merge Adjacent Delimiters control is selected, the Align Fields tool, during a subsequent Check, merges adjacent delimiters before aligning fields.

The merging of adjacent delimiters is performed internally by the Align Fields tool and the contents of the input file are not altered.

Example

If an input file contains the following lines:

xxx (1, "abc", ,,, 101, rst);
xxx (2, "def", ,, 202, uvw);
xxx (3, "ghi", , 303, xyz);

the Align Fields tool effectively treats the input lines as:

xxx (1, "abc", , 101, rst);
xxx (2, "def", , 202, uvw);
xxx (3, "ghi", , 303, xyz);

during a subsequent Check when the Merge Adjacent Delimiters control is selected.
