When I drag txt-files with strings and \t characters into my excel-sheet, excel can't handle the \t. Instead I have to type the tab-button in the txt-file. Why \t doesn't work?

  • Off topic as this relates at most to (super) user the way the quesiton is phrased now. The question has nothing to do with programming as it stands.

    Excel wont understand what \t means, you'll have to either manually replace them all with real tabs (or another delimiter) or create a macro to do a custom text-to-columns. The standard text-to-columns will not accept a 2 character delimiter (through the gui at least).
