Hi,

I can't find a special character.

I have a table looking someting like that in firefox (I know it's not very well made!!):

* * *

| Auralux | CD | #LUXXCD 015 | 2005 |  
| **_|_|** _**||  
| Auralux | LP | #LUXXLP 015 | 2005 |  
| ** __** | **|_\_\_\_\_\_\__ ** |**_|

so I import it in text editor :  
It appears like that :  
Auralux [space] [tab] LP [space] [tab] #LUXXLP 015 [space] [tab] 2005  
I'm not sur about the tab. But I think it is...

After I import it in a field in Mp3tag  
and it appears like that :  
Auralux £CD £#LUXXCD 015 £2005  
£ is for square.

I could change the squarre for carriage return with this expression :  
$regexp(%TEMPORAIRE%,\r\n,|)  
r & n are the ascii charcter for carriage return.

So I tried to do that to remove the tab character :  
$regexp(%BAND%,\t,%)  
t is normaly the horizontal tab character  
But it doesn't work. It just said :  
Auralux [SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING]CD [SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING]#LUXXCD 015 [SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING]2005

So I don't know what I should do... Can you tell me please.

Thanks a lot

% is a special character in Mp3tag, write '%'
