[VFP7] I have some code that creates a text file as its output. I need to insert tabs in between sections of text, so I used the following code:


SET ALTERNATE TO C:\OUTPUT.TXT
SET ALTERNATE ON

? 'TEXT1' + CHR(9) + 'TEXT2' + CHR(9) + 'TEXT3'

SET ALTERNATE OFF
CLOSE ALTERNATE


When I read the output file, instead of finding true TAB characters, it has spaces in it that imitate the tabbed columns.

Any ideas?
