FinalBuilder Version 8.0.0.1520, Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  
  
For the delimiter for the “CSV Field Iterator” you can’t type a tab character but you can paste one in.&nbsp; This used to work in FinalBuilder 7 and one of my scripts relies on this.&nbsp; When I do it in 8 and save the file, it can’t be reopened.&nbsp; If I edit the file with a text editor and put quotes around the tab the project will open and it seems as expected, though I haven’t tested it yet.&nbsp; Regardless, FinalBuilder shouldn’t be writing an invalid file.

I tested the modified project with quotes added and it seems to work as it did before.&nbsp; This is a cumbersome workaround to have to edit the project file with a text editor after every save from FinalBuilder.&nbsp; Any word on this issue, will it be fixed?&nbsp; I have multiple scripts with CSV actions using tabs as separators.
