find and replace character in DOORS with a tab?

I'd like to perform a Find/Replace action in DOORS that will allow me to replace all instances of a specific placeholder character (like a tilde) with a tab. Is this possible? If so, what character in DOORS would represent the tab?

Hi,

The problem is putting a TAB character in the "Replace with:" box, right?

What does work (although cumbersome...) is to paste a TAB character into the box. So, open Notepad or whatever text editor you prefer (or some DOORS window that will accept tabs), type a Tab character, copy it and paste it into the Find and Replace window.

No DXL involved...

Hope that helps.

Not at all cumbersome and it works. Thank you!!
