How can I enter a tab char in the text editor with find/replace

[Pecan]

Is it possible to enter escape characters like \n \t etc with the find/replace dialog of the editor?

There is a multiline checkbox in the dialog, have you tried it?

It doesn't seem to work, pressing Tab changes fields.  The only way I know how to work around this limitation in programs is to paste a tab character in from the clipboard.

Finally figured it out by using the regular expression option of replace. '\t' (without quotes) worked.

thanks
