TextPipe allows you to embed control characters in search and replace
strings, line prefixes and user-defined replacement strings. All fields that support entering unprintable characters in this manner have a
"context" or right-click menu that allows them to be entered without
remembering the exact code.
E.g. To search for "hello" followed by a tab followed by "there"
followed by a DOS end of line, enter the search string as
hello\tthere\r\n
where \t is the code for a Tab (see Standard ASCII
codes).

Any character code, specified in hex. The XX is replaced by the character's
2 digit hex code |
| \x{ .. } |
Any |
Any sequence of character codes, specified in hex. This can
be very handy for specifying unicode code sequences, such as \x00000020 for
a unicode space character, instead of \x00\x00\x00\x20. To enter a
two-byte number, use \x{0020}. For 3 bytes, use \x{000020}. For 4 bytes use
\x{00000020}. |
