Hi all,
I would like to replace the string "Org:[here is a tab>>......]Northland Communications" to: [tab>>......]Northland Communications" with a tab. Problem 1: ^!Replace "(Org:)" >> "" RAS eliminates the "Org:" but also the Tab, Why? Problem 2: For some unknown reason all replacements below do not work: ^!Replace "(Org:)" >> "^T" RAS ^!Replace "(Org:)" >> "\t" RAS ^!Replace "(Org:)" >> ">>......" RAS I get only spaces. What is the right code? Thank you for some advice hwitche |

John,
thank you so much! Now the whole story: I couldn't believe the code was not working again in my setting, I finally found the mistake I made: I absent-mindedly overlooked a replacement further down in my script, which invalidated the tab insertion, so my code was actually working too, but I stupidly reversed it. I'm very sorry and I apologize to you and the community about my sloppiness to bother about it. Thanks again! All the best hwitche |

No problem! I remember when I forgot the backslash on \d in a class, and could not understand why the clip would not work-for hours...we all do that.
