Inserting Tab Delimiter in Text File using ASP.NET

Hi guys,

Can anyone let me know how to insert TAB in a text file using StreamWriter object. Simple, isn't it?

Thanks.

Can you add a literal string with a tab in it?

Code:

"    "

(There's a tab literal in between the quotes but the forum will change it to several spaces. However it should work in your stream writer.)

No, it's not working. Could you also confirm this on your PC. Thanks.

I can confirm that I can press the tab key while editing code and make a string literal that contains a tab. I've done it numerous times for the same exact purpose. (Although I don't often use the StreamWriter class.)
