Escape characters in variables

[Madottati]

I have a an array of strings local variable Locals.Header. Each element should contain TAB characters, so I created these strings as they would be in expressions - where \t is a tab character after evaluation of the expression.

If I build a string with the STR() function from the array elements, all "\t"s appear in the print. But I need tabs. What is the reason and how to solve it?

However, you have an array of strings.  This is a little cumbersome, but I made a For Each Loop where I use the Unescape function for each array element.  Take a look at the attached example.

Use "\\t" instead of "\t"
