Searching text for a tab char

[minckle]

Hi
What is the best where to search through some text to find where the 'tab' key has been pressed?

e.g. if i was looking for a comma, I could use

MainString := 'Hi, How are you")

GetPosition := pos(',',MainString);
GetPosition := 3

but i want to find a tab
e.g

MainString := 'James Smith")

GetPosition := pos('tab',MainString); //this does not work
GetPosition := 6

is there a way a doing what i want to do???

Thanks

the ascii code for the tab is 9 so do this :

GetPosition := pos(#9,MainString);
