How to use tabs in a string?
Hi!

Perhaps I'm stupid but I can't find any hint about how to use tabs in a string. Intuitively I used $\t but obviously this doesn't work. Then I searched the forum, but can't find anything. The only idea I have is to write via 'FileWriteByte filehandle "9"' a tab char into a file and then read from it. But this cannot be.

So: tell me how stupid I am and how it works...

Thank you...

For tabs in a string you mean:
|Hello|Hi|Hola|

Using a real tab works.

That's what I meant: Tell me how stupid I can be...

Fast as ever... Thank you.

I have added $\t in the latest version because it does makes sense. I can't upload it at the moment because the file in question contains some other changes that I need to test some more.

That's cool.

Thank you
