SQLDataCompare API examples - Composite Formatting ?

Can someone explain the purpose and meaning of the \t used in the formating used in the examples (like Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}",field.Field(false).Name, value1.ToString(),row.FieldDifferent(i)?"<>":"==", value2.ToString());)

I just cant find any .net help doco to explain this ...

Hi,

\t is a standard escape character which will 'print' a TAB to the console. There is information on the Internet about these if you search for 'C Escape Characters', for instance, this web page.
