insert tab '\t' to string

I am not able to add tab the sting I created

 

Notice the tab I want to insert between the old valud and new value in the description.           

description = description + 'Changed  Product Type  from: ' + oldMap.get(key).Product_Type__c + '\t'+ ' to:  ' +  newmap.get(key).Product_Type__c + '\n' ;

 '\n'    new line feed is working

'\t' tab is not working

Any suggestions how I can add tab or space between strings?

Unfortunatly string do not understand Tab (\t) so you can only do is :

 

String tabStr = '     ' ;

 

description = description + 'Changed  Product Type  from: ' + oldMap.get(key).Product_Type__c + tabStr+ ' to:  ' +  newmap.get(key).Product_Type__c + '\n' ;

 

 

Thanks

Check with this '\r\t'

 

Thanks,

Roshan,

 

I think this will introduce a new line between the two words.

Try this in debug logs to know more:

 

String str = 'Ankit\r\tArora' ;
System.debug('str ::::::::: ' + str) ;

 

Thanks

I tried both solutions.

 

adding '\r\t' and empty string tabStr = '      ';

 

Neither of them added any space or line between my strings

String tabStr = '     ';
description = 'Changed Product Code ' + '    Old Value:' + '\r\t'+ oldMap.get(key).Rate_Product_Code__c + tabStr +  'New Value: ' +  newmap.get(key).Rate_Product_Code__c + '\n' ;
