Tab character in text line

mikesh
Level I

Is it possible to use a "tab" character inside a cell? 

I have a report that needs to be read by a computer that requires a "tab" inside the txt file to properly run.

To specify a tab character, you use the escape sequence of \! followed by the letter t

 

"This is a tab\!t"

Worked perfectly!  My google-fu was failing with the word Tab.

 

Thanks for the quick response!

The complete list of escape sequences available are found on page 102 in the Scripting Guide, available in the JMP Documentation Library found under the Help pull down menu.
