hmm...
indeed, you can even type it:
$tab="	"


the difference with crlf is that you can't actually type it in your script (kix strips the CR then as it's not needed [LF is sufficient]) and it's shorthand for the little tricky "end-of-line" spec by MS for text-files.

indeed, the case is more than different.
thanks for the suggestion though... [Wink]
