Tab char doesn't work

[Bill Vlahos]

Sorry the actual script is:

on pasteKey -- replace returns and tabs with spaces before pasting for attachments description (actually any table)
   if the target contains "revCell-" then
      set the clipboardData["text"] to replaceText(the clipboardData["text"],return,space)
      set the clipboardData["text"] to replaceText(the clipboardData["text"],tab,space)
   end if
   paste
end pasteKey

Notice that color of the word tab is not even the same as the color of the word return. It is like the tab character isn't being recognized.
