I have a bunch of tag information in an Excel file that needs to get attached to the FLAC files. There are lots of commas in the information, so when I convert to a CSV file it puts those tags in quotation marks, which I don't want. It works fine when I convert the Excel file to a .txt file with tabs in between the tags if I go through and replace all the tabs with semicolons. I have several thousand files, though, so I'd prefer to not have to insert semicolons all over all of them. (Find and Replace does not work with tabs.)
Is there a symbol that would represent tab in the string of tags? I saw \t somewhere online, but that did not work, nor did /t or |t.

You can enter your line with tabs in a normal text editor and copy and paste it in the Mp3tag edit field.
