I wish to write a text file that is tab separated for viewing in UNIX, however the tab character provided in Labview is read as a ^M in the UNIX file and in notepad. If you have any suggestions, they would be appreciate

When I write a tab delimited file on my Linux box I just get tabs. The
only time I see the ^M is when I use a carriage return instead of a tab.
To suppress the ^M in Linux I've been told to use line feeds or the combo,
carriage return/line feed. I tried it and it works. Sorry if this
doesn't answer your question. Perhaps results are different on a pure
Unix system? Maybe it's the text viewer... I used less and joe to verify
my results
