Hi. This is probably (hopefully) a simple question. How do you write a tab into a file. What I need to do is this: fprintf(File, "...\n", number0, number1, number2, number3); where the result in the file would be: number0[tab]number1[tab]number2[tab]number3[return] and what I need to know is what to put in the format statement of the fprintf. Thanks for any help !!! Juana

There are others: \b backspace \r cairrage return \f form feed \\ backslash \ddd any character value specified in octal. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Niko Schuessler "On a two semester mission to engineer where niko@iastate.edu no-one has engineered before.... :-) " ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
