I'm having some problem writing a tab delimited string into a txt file.
//This is the result I want:
First line. Second line. nThird line.
//But I'm getting this:
First line./tSecond line./tThird line.
Below is my code where I pass the string to be written into the txt file:
string word1 = "FirstLine.";
string word2 = "SecondLine.";
string word3 = "ThirdLine.";
string line = word1 + "/t" + word2 + "/t" + word3;
System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fileName, true);
file.WriteLine(line);
file.Close();
Use \\t
for the tab character. Using String.Format
may present a more readable option:
line = string.Format("{0}\t{1}\t{2}", word1, word2, word3);
To write a tab character you need to use "\\t"
. It's a backslash (above the enter key), not a forward slash.
So your code should read:
string line = word1 + "\t" + word2 + "\t" + word3;
For what it's worth, here is a list of common "escape sequences" like "\\t" = TAB
:
use \\t
not /t
for tab in the string. so your string line
should be:
string line = word1 + "\t" + word2 + "\t" + word3;
if you do:
Console.WriteLine(line);
output would be:
FirstLine. SecondLine. ThirdLine.
