How to insert a formated line in a file

[Jerome Jean Verleyen]

Dear all.

I've using the edit line function with insert_lines. What i need is to insert a formated line, like this:

$(bundle.value1)[TAB character]$(bundle.value2)[TAB character]$(bundle.value3).

I could do with simple space character, but i don't found how to insert TAB in the line.. Like a printf() function in C language.

Someone could help me?

Regards!

Happy new year!
