Initiator and Terminator Special Characters
The following are special characters that may be specified in the Initiator or Terminator properties:
-
\n - A single newline character(s), depending on the platform. This does not necessarily mean the actual newline character (ASCII 10), but specifies the newline character(s) as defined in the flat representation properties.
-
\t - A tab character is expected and emitted an output.
-
\uXXXX - A single Unicode character specified in hex.
-
\w - A single whitespace character which can be a newline, space or tab. On output a single space is emitted.
-
\W - One or more consecutive whitespace characters (newline, space or tab). Note that this will consume consecutive whitespace characters until a non-whitespace character. On output all spaces are emitted.
-
\\ - A single backslash character is expected and emitted on output.
