Tim Myers recently asks about exporting to tab-separated text from FileMaker
Pro.

Actually, Tim, FileMaker Pro seems to export everything as it claims it
will.  The snag that you may be getting caught on, though, is that FileMaker
will export a Vertical Tab (ASCII 11), for any returns within a field.  So,
if you have one field that may have several lines of information which you
have manually added in carriage returns to, you will get these VT
characters.  The standard carriage return is used to signal the
end-of-record marker.

Good luck, and Happy FileMaking!
