How to Replace "Right Indent Tab" character?

Hi All,

I want to replace "Tab" and "Right Indent Tab" to "<TAB>" text. "Tab" replace is working fine. How to replace "Right Indent Tab"? Below is my Code.

var myParaContents=app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].contents;

myParaContents=myParaContents.replace("\t","<TAB>"); //This code replace "\t" to "<TAB>". Like this I want to change Right Indent Tab character.

alert(myParaContents);

Thanks & Regards,
