Hi

Thanks John

text::tabs
Text::Tabs(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Text::Tabs(3pm)
NAME
Text::Tabs - expand and unexpand tabs like unix expand(1) and unexpand(1)
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Tabs;
$tabstop = 4; # default = 8
@lines_without_tabs = expand(@lines_with_tabs);
@lines_with_tabs = unexpand(@lines_without_tabs);
DESCRIPTION
Text::Tabs does most of what the unix utilities expand(1) and unexpand(1) do. Given a line with tabs in it, "expand" replaces those tabs
with the appropriate number of spaces. Given a line with or without tabs in it, "unexpand" adds tabs when it can save bytes by doing so,
like the "unexpand -a" command.
Unlike the old unix utilities, this module correctly accounts for any Unicode combining characters (such as diacriticals) that may occur in
each line for both expansion and unexpansion. These are overstrike characters that do not increment the logical position. Make sure you
have the appropriate Unicode settings enabled.
EXPORTS
The following are exported:
expand
unexpand
$tabstop
The $tabstop variable controls how many column positions apart each tabstop is. The default is 8.
Please note that "local($tabstop)" doesn't do the right thing and if you want to use "local" to override $tabstop, you need to use
"local($Text::Tabs::tabstop)".
EXAMPLE
#!perl
# unexpand -a
use Text::Tabs;
while (<>) {
print unexpand $_;
}
Instead of the shell's "expand" comand, use:
perl -MText::Tabs -n -e 'print expand $_'
Instead of the shell's "unexpand -a" command, use:
perl -MText::Tabs -n -e 'print unexpand $_'
SUBVERSION
This module comes in two flavors: one for modern perls (5.10 and above) and one for ancient obsolete perls. The version for modern perls
has support for Unicode. The version for old perls does not. You can tell which version you have installed by looking at
$Text::Tabs::SUBVERSION: it is "old" for obsolete perls and "modern" for current perls.
This man page is for the version for modern perls and so that's probably what you've got.
BUGS
Text::Tabs handles only tabs (" ") and combining characters ("/pM/"). It doesn't count backwards for backspaces (" "), omit other non-
printing control characters ("/pC/"), or otherwise deal with any other zero-, half-, and full-width characters.
