I received a tsv file which use ^B as delimiter of columns. I was told to use 'ctrl-v ctrl-b' to match the delimiter. How to do this exactly in Python code or VIM? I want to split each line into columns by this delimiter. I am on Mac. I tried to press ctr b and ctr c but with no luck.

012^B10420

In Python, use \x02.

In Vim, to type the character ^B, for instance in a search and replace, press Ctrl V then Ctrl B.
