hey, i couldn't find an answer to the question so thought i would post.

is there a way to convert tab characters to spaces (e.g.; 1 tab converts to 4 spaces)

i am running phped professional 5.0

any help is greatly appreciated.

thnx,
thinbegin

I think we've found bug, as according to the manual, entering \t in the 'Text to find' field with 'Regular Expressions' checked should find a tab character.

I'm using build 5023.

thanks lats, but that didn't seem to work for me [the \t suggestion]

oh, and i am also running the 5023 build

any other thoughts?

Like I said, it's a bug, as that is supposed to work

right. i misunderstood. thanks.

i was more thinking about a toggled menu item or keyboard shortcut combination. much along the same lines as the menu items "to lower case" and "to upper case" found under "edit." something that would convert all tab character instances, on an entire page, into spaces.

many of the linux text editors have the functionality, that i am asking about, built in and i was just hoping that someone would be able to tell me that phped has the same functionality. i guess, by your answer, that is a "no."
