Silly basic easy question, I hope. How do I enter the tab char in the Find or Replace text boxes? I've tried shift, ctrl, and/or alt with the tab key, no luck. I'd guess it would treat backslash 0x09 and 	 as literal text and not parsed/preprocessed. However, text with a tab char already selected or copy/pasted in works, and this is what I've been doing as a workaround. -- If the answer involves needing to know RegExp regular expressions, well, I need a reference to learn those. Hitting up Amazon for a textbook on that next.

Thanks in advance. Yes, I need to read/Reread RTFM.
