How to use tab in find&replace
I'd like to use tab in find&replace. But i don't know if it's part of the special character sets. I've looked but can't seem to find it. Can anyone out there shed some light?

In the More Options section you need to select Regular Expressions. Then you can use \t to represent a tab. Activating regular expressions gives special meaning to some characters like *, ., +, ( and others, so you may find you need more help constructing your search.

It doesn't seem to work for me. If I make a new entry in the replacement table with a tab character pasted into the replacement field, the tab is changed to a plain space.
