How to convert tabs to spaces without extra text modification

(1/1)

Cypress:
Sorry for my bad english.
Needed only tabs to spaces conversion, but when i am using AStyle plugin with custom settings and only "Convert TABs to spaces" selected result is:
Before

if( expression )
{
    return 1;
}


After

if ( expression )
{
    return 1;
}

What about space after if? Workarounds, another ways to solve this problem?

dmoore:
(as much as i hate to state the obvious) search and replace?

To convert tabs to spaces, type the following command at command prompt.


--- Code: ---sfk detab=4 <filename>
--- End code ---

It will replace each Tab with 4 spaces.

Cypress:
Thank you very much. 'sfk' works wery well, without lossing formatting. Tabs was converted AND columns of text is correctly aligned  :D:


--- Code: ---#define US_SC_RBC   0x01
#define US_SC_8020  0x02
#define US_SC_QIC   0x03
--- End code ---

search->replace... is works too, but code look messy:


--- Code: ---#define US_SC_RBC    0x01
#define US_SC_8020    0x02
#define US_SC_QIC    0x03
--- End code ---
