well we all know that there's \r\n on a windows machine to make an ENTER in a text file... but is there such thing as a command that will make a TAB in a text file? if so... someone should either invent it or give me the command ;-) FBI_Agent

dec => 9 hex => 9 oct => 011 Perl & PHP => \t I believe the \t notation is valid in other languages as well, unfortunately, my knowledge is limited to Perl (and a little php).

The \t also works in C++. cout << "\tSee" << endl; IR

is there a website that you guys have that shows all of these \ commands? cuz i've seen only \r\n, \r, and \n on a php website... i dont know what all these others are like \s. but thanks for the \t. ill put it in (all these slashes makes this post look retarded) FBI_Agent

Most of the ones I use are hiding away in just about every reference book I have... If you want a website, this lists a few of them: http://www.technipal.com/cpp/escape.html IR
