Why does A_LoopReadLine drop indentation?

e.g. if I run

Code:

Loop, read, TestFile1.txt
{
   NewFile = %NewFile%%A_LoopReadLine%`n
}
FileDelete, TestFile2.txt
FileAppend, %NewFile%, *TestFile2.txt
MsgBox, 64, , complete, 10
ExitApp

on TestFile1.txt containing

Code:

text1
   text2
      text3
   text4
text5

it produces in TestFile2.txt

Code:

text1
text2
text3
text4
text5

How can I preserve the indentation?

Thanks for any advice.

on purpose.
use:

Code:

AutoTrim, off

to change the default behaviour.

Thanks guys - perhaps Loop(read file contents) should have a reference to AutoTrim the same as FileReadLine has. :wink:
