I'm building an application where I should capture several values and build a text with them: Name, Age, etc.

The output will be a plain text into a TextBox.

I am trying to make those information appear in kind of columns, therefore I am trying to separate them with tab to make it clearer.

For example, instead of having:

Ann 26
Sarah 29
Paul 45

I would like it to show as:

Ann tab 26 Sarah tab 29 Paul tab 45

Any tip on how to insert the tabs into my text?

Try using the \t character in your strings
