rangeOfString question

Hi all,

I'm trying to find the range of a substring of characters in a line of text but I'm running into a problem with the rangeOfString method. This is my call to rangeOfString:

stringRange = [theTextLine rangeOfString:@" |\t"];

The problem is with the tab character. I know that exists because I see it when I perform a hexdump on my file, but stringRange.length returns 0 if I include it in my search string. It works fine if I remove the tab character. I'm new to Cocoa programming, so I'm probably missing something fundamental here. Any ideas?

...Dave
