Description: ------------ I'm running the Generic.Files.LineLength Sniff on my files and am getting a lot of false positives. I will attach a test case which demonstrates the issue.

OK - well, it looks like the crappy bug-tracker won't accept anything except text files, and even when I rename them "Example.txt" before uploading it borks and refuses the upload, as it has detected them as PHP files. I can't paste them here as white-space will be mangled, which I'm sure is the cause of the problem, so can someone either fix the bug-tracker or give me an e-mail address to send the test-cases to.

Hi Mark, Please send me the test case: gsherwood at squiz dot net

Sent.

Thanks for the detailed test case and output. It made testing very easy. The problem was with PHP_CodeSniffer's conversion of tabs to spaces for calculating column numbers. I've committed a fix to the github repo: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/dcf61b5f3feb677f190f5b0bbea c246533045c3b

Fantastic - once again impressed by the speed of resolution! Plus - it's always good to see a bugfix that involves code being removed, rather than added. :-)

PS - Might it be worth adding my test case to your unit tests?

I dont have the ability to test things that vary the command line settings yet. It is a limitation in my testing system.

Oh well - fair enough. Thanks for the fix.
