Ascii 9

I am new to kali linux. I am trying to run a command but getting errors. If you can take a look at the below error and help I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Invalid character (ASCII 9)
Failed to decode Base58Check input (invalid format).
You can use the --fix-base58check option to change the input string until the checksum is valid, but this may return a false positive match.

what is the "command" you're trying to run? And how are you trying to run it?

The command must be expecting base58-encoded input, but the input is not base58-encoded. The input contains ASCII 9 which is the tab character, and that character is not used in base58 encoding. That's why it's reporting an invalid format.

Perhaps the input does contain some base58-encoded data but it also contains a tab which is causing a problem. Or perhaps the input is not base58-encoded at all and is just something else.
