Hello everyone

I translate Wordbee projects by exporting to Excel and then importing again. I've noticed, however, that if the source text contains tabs, then those tabs do not survive the export to Excel... which means that they are also not present in any translations that I do.

How can I search for segments that contain a tab, or filter segments to show only segments with a tab in it?

I've tried searching for the actual tab character with Unicode code... See more
Hello everyone

How can I search for segments that contain a tab, or filter segments to show only segments with a tab in it?

I've tried searching for the actual tab character with Unicode code 0009, but although this allows me to paste the tab character into the search field, it doesn't find any matches.

Thanks
Samuel

Regex \t or wildcard ^t Apr 15

This page mentions that Wordbee can do regex search: https://help.wordbee.com/wbt/search-bar
If so, probably you can search for \t

Thanks, that works (one also has to select the language in which to search).
