V4RB, how to write TAB, CR in REALbasic

[Frank Bitterlich]

Ruslan,

If you want to specify such characters as the default value for the function
declaration, that's the way I do it normally:

Function importtext(File as FolderItem, fieldDelimiter as string="\t",
LineDelimiter as string = "\r")
    FieldDelimiter = ReplaceAll(ReplaceAll(FieldDelimiter, "\r", chr(13)),
"\t", chr(9))
   ...


(Actually, I'm using a global function for the ReplaceAll, so that even more
characters can be used).

That way, the user can even specify ttheir own special characters easily
(such as "\r\n").

Cheers,
   Frank+++
