title: how to split string with "\\t" in java
body: <p>i've one text file, and im doing something like this :</p>
  
  <pre><code>resultingTokens = currentLine.split("\\t"); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>file data is tab delimited. But when I parse it with above code, it does not give expected output. I realize that tab is actually editor specific. But how does Java (above code) interprets it? </p>
