tabs to 4 spaces

You can do that in PERL in one line... $sourcecode =~ s/\t/ {4}/g; Assuming you have access to perl. Assuming you meant outside of your native code editor. (I can't vouch for the absolute accuracy of the above line. I haven't used PERL in a while.) Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
I do have perl access. But I wanted it as a sort of editor feature. Nish

Because when displayed in HTML tabs within a <pre> block are quite wide (around 8 spaces) whereas 4 spaces inside a <pre> block is 4 spaces. I'm guessing Nish is editing his articles. cheers, Chris Maunder
