Insert Tab character in a string

[michellezee]

I'm trying to create a string that will eventually be written to a text file that has to be tab delimited. I can't figure out how to insert a tab in the string. Here's an example:

<cfset headerline = 'H' & TAB & #FORM.order_ID#>

Obviously, 'TAB' doesn't work here. Help?
