What does #9 mean. 1

[davidrobin]

I am trying to understand some delphi code.

i = Pos(#9, f1)

Can some one tell me what the #9 means.

#9 = Chr(9);
The character with the asci code 9

For example #65 = 'A'
#13 : enter

(#9) is the ASCII for the TAB character, so what the code is doing is trying to find if the TAB character exists in the string f1.

Actually, it's assigning the position of the tab in the string f1 to the integer i.

f1 := 'This has a <tab> here';
i := Pos(#9, f1);

i will equal 11 or the position in the string where the tab is.
