How to put a TAB into the clipboard?

I need to PASTE a tab into a dialog's text box. PRESS-ing the tab takes me to another field. Pasting it works.

How do I put a tab into the clipboard? I don't see how to do this with either PutClipBoard or Ascii. Thank you for helping me!

Use %TAB%

Code: Select all

PutClipBoard>1%TAB%2

WOOHOO!!!

Thank you!

I don't see anything like this in the documentation, and

Code: Select all

echo 1%TAB%2

does not work at a command prompt either (it just prints "12").

If you happen to know where this information is, please let me know.

Thanks a lot!

TAB is just a predefined variable containing a TAB character.

It is documented under System Variables in the help file. And here:

http://www.mjtnet.com/manual/systemvariables.htm

You can use it in any command.

FYI: The link is pointing to a page that says "System Variables" at the top with just emptiness below it.

But I found it in the offline help documentation, and it is much appreciated!
