How can I enter a tab char in the text editor with find/replace

(1/1)

Pecan:
Is it possible to enter escape characters like \n \t etc with the find/replace dialog of the editor?

oBFusCATed:
There is a multiline checkbox in the dialog, have you tried it?

raynebc:
It doesn't seem to work, pressing Tab changes fields.  The only way I know how to work around this limitation in programs is to paste a tab character in from the clipboard.

Pecan:
Finally figured it out by using the regular expression option of replace. '\t' (without quotes) worked.

thanks
