I have written a shell script to export data:

psql -A -t -U $DBUSER -d $DB -c "$QUERY" -F ' '

Currently, I am using spaces as field separator but what I really want is tabs.

How can I specify a TAB character with the -F option?

Sorry for having gone off-topic. I was just hoping something like \t could be passed, too.


Try:
   psql -A -t -U $DBUSER -d $DB -c "$QUERY" -F $'\t'

see:
   man bash

HTH,

Joe
