Hello. I created a user parameter to select the separator in the CSV reader. I linked the user parameter to the separator field in the CSV reader and it works. But I do not know how to write TAB as a separator into user parameter. I tried \\t, ^I, <control>, <u0009> and so on. Can someone tell me?

Hi @lukas108, if you created the user parameter from the reader parameter "Delimiter Character" on the Navigator window, you just can select "tab".
