Silly keyboard. ;-)

You're welcome.

I know. It's deeply objectionable.

I have a guitar, which is quite the same. It (she?) never plays the
chords I want it to play. ;)

That was certainly easy - right you are. Thanks, Micha!

The above searches for a literal '\x09' (4 chars!). You have to use
double quotes around the string, so PHP will replace these special
escape sequences, e.g. "\x09" or "\t".

You could also check with ord() what character it actually is.

Where are you trying to do the replace? In PHP? Try:

preg_replace("/\t/","-",$content);

If in DW, in code view,
Find: \t
Replace with: -
Use Regular Expressions

If neither of those, where?

Gary

That's what I thought, but when I do a str_replace('\x09','-',$content);, it
doesn't find it.

As far as I know, they're separated by tabs.
