@section{description}
TabFileReader reads tab/return delimited files into 2D arrays.
For semi-colon-delimited files use link::Classes/SemiColonFileReader::. For comma-separated files use link::Classes/CSVFileReader::. For space-delimited files, or custom delimiters, use link::Classes/FileReader::.

// write a test file:
f = File("TabDelTest.sc", "w");
f.write(
"Some tab- delimited items in line 1
and then some more in line 3
"
);
f.close;
)
// open file, read and put strings into array, close file.
x = TabFileReader.read("TabDelTest.sc").postcs;
// can skip empty lines:
x = TabFileReader.read("TabDelTest.sc", true).postcs;
