Hi,

How can I choose a delimiter being double-tab as an example. I have tried with "\t\t" and so on. Maybe it is not even possible? I am looking to use a delimiter as double-tab to have a nice looking table sent in an email, and as the header or the value in some cells might be longer than what a single-tab would delimit, I believe a double-tab would be perfect.

I know that I can export my list to excel, format the size of the columns and so on. I would prefer not having to use Excel if possible, so this is the reason for the question. :o)

Thanks

Ghita

  Hi Ghita,

  You can create a variable, make sure to maximize the text area, which will enable you to write tabs, so in your case add two tabs and save the variable. So now you essentially have a variable containing two tabs, nothing else. Then you can simply use that variable as your delimiter in the "Save List" action.
