How to identify a tab in a string 1

[steven54]

My code searches for a tab from a text file. However, the tab appears as a square box when viewing the contents of the string in the Watch window. The tab consists of four characters. I tried to copy the square box from the Watch window but it just adds four spaces in the code:

stringLocation = InStr(1, tempString, " ")

I have also tried moving the two strings around like this:

stringLocation = InStr(1, " ", tempString)

How do I identify the tab in a string?

Thank you!
