    In my document i am using two-letter-codes which are surrounded bij tab characters

    Now I want to change the preceding tab character to a end of paragraph

    This is what i do:

    Find/change '^t^$^$^t' in '^p^$^$^t'

    As a result the two-letter-codes change to ^$^$

    Correct; that exactly is the behavior as described in the Online Help:

    * Any Letter ^$

    …

    * Can be entered in the Find What box only, not the Change To box.

    For anything involving more than a plain search/replace with static text, you need to switch to the GREP tab of the Find/Change box. Search for this:

    t(?=uut)

    and replace with this:

    r

    This will replace any tab (which must be followed by two uppercase characters and another tab) with a single return.
