Based on my experience with Unix, I tried \t (backslash-t) for tab : and it worked, but \n (backslash-n) for newline did not. Also, are there : equivalents to the Unix regular expression metacharaters to signify that a string : occurs at the start or end of a line? If these features exist, where would : one find a reference for them? : : I am most likely to see replies by e-mail, though I will try to get back to this : newsgroup by week's end. Thanks a million in advance. : : Andrew Robinson What I do is turn on "show invisables" in menu ona far right, (I forget what it's called), and then select the nonprintable I want to search for by dragging through it, and cut & paste it.
