Re: Outputting a tab character to file redirection

Thanks Rick,

I was afraid that I might be dealing with a bash interpretation issue too. FWIW:
$ echo 'a\tb' "c\td" e\tf 
a\tb c\td etf
doesn't give any tab output, but this does:
$ echo -e 'a\tb' "c\td" e\tf 
a	b c	d etf

But your suggestion of using an input script might be the better option in many ways. I will be working on a different project for the next couple of days, but I will report back on this.

Regards,
Rich
