Help with sed/substitution!
I have file.txt


Code:
    1              4              7              9              3

I want to replace the tabs with a space, but my code doesn't work.


Code:
cat file.txt | sed 's/"\t"/ /g' > t.txt

But file is still the same. Numbers seperated by tabs instead of spaces.

Help?
