How do you add tab spaces to a text file

[j-mation]

I'm in the process of learning Lscript but I can't find a command to add tab spacing to a text file. This is important for its end use. Currently if I put a tab space in quotes it turns into a single space not a tabbed space in my resulting text file. e.g

myfile.write(" ");

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

when I type:

Mytextfile.write(\t);
or
Mytextfile.write(\t+"hello world");

I get an error from that line of code.

You must include it inside the quotes.

Got it working thanks. Is their a more extensive lscipt app in html with searching available as the only one I have is in a PDF and is not very good. And the one that comes with the lightwave install seems to missing a lot of this basic info.

thanks again, for taking the time to answer such a simple question.

You have Lscript docs in LW SDK html directory,
Dodgy have also excellent docs (and usefull Lscripts):

Control Structures in Lscript are based also on C language,
so you can learn a lot also in C.
