I have a text file containing a tab separated table. More precisely, the separators are regular expressions “\t”. Text import in LibreOffice does not recognize the regular expressions as tabulators whereas many other spreadsheet software do. How can I change this property in LibreOffice?
In the import dialogue, under delimiters, you can choose “other” and specify as “\t” (need to also choose merge delimiters). Does this achieve what you want?
Thank you for the solution. It almost works. The only disadvantage of the solution is that every “t” character in the file is read as separator. Is there any easy way to prevent the misinterpretation?
