Import TAB separated file problem

The default TAB separator on the “Insert of data from text formatted file” page did not work.

I ended up having to change the PHP file ‘C:\wamp\apps\sqlitemanager1.2.0\include\SQLiteTableProperties.class.php’. Line 751 which is:

if($_POST['separator'] == '\\\t')

to:

if($_POST['separator'] == '\t')

This makes the default TAB separated text file import work.

It can also be made to work by using ‘\\t’ instead of ‘\t’ in the ‘Separator’ input field but that is nasty!
