Tab problem

[elfeste]

Hi,
Does anyone know how to produce a tab charachter in a print MAIL instruction?

I am trying to send a list of tab delimited variables via email. When the email arrives, I should be able to copy the row of values and paste the directly into Excel.

An example of what I have done so far is shown below
print MAIL "$QTY\t$PRI\t$IDEN\t$NAME\t$ADINFO\t\n";

When the email is received, all the tabs from the instruction above have become spaces.
Any adea what I am doing wrong??

TIA

hi,

I don't think there is problem in the code. Maybe the tabs are replaced with spaces while transmitting. So after receiving, again replace the spaces with tabs. This should solve your problem.
