Exporting with a <TAB> delimiter

Posted by LegacyUser on 08-Mar-2001 13:35

This may be an elementary question, but, if anyone can help, thanks.

Is there an easy way to delimit an export file with a TAB character?

Kevin,

Simply output either chr(9) or "~t".

Example;

put "Sometext" + chr(9) + "Some more text".

or

put "Sometext~tSome more text".

It does appear that the following works:

EXPORT STREAM expout DELIMITER "~t"

customer.number

customer.name

etc...

works for exporting a TAB delimited export file.

Thanks
