- == Entab and Detab ==
-
- This archive contains four files in addition to this one:
-
- 1. Entab - a program to replace runs of spaces in a file with
- tab characters.
-
- 2. Detab - a program to expand tab characters in a file to
- an equivalent number of spaces.
-
- 3. Entab.c - "C" source for Entab.
-
- 4. Detab.c - "C" source for Detab.
-
- Usage:
-
- Entab infile outfile
-
- and
-
- Detab infile outfile
-
- Both programs use tab stops every eight columns. You can use Detab to
- send files to your printer so that everything lines up correctly (that's
- the reason I wrote it). My printer (or PRT:, I'm not sure which)
- doesn't agree with anything else as to where tab stops are; Detab let's
- me (and you) overcome the problem thusly:
-
- Detab infile par:
-
- or
-
- Detab infile prt:
-
- Entab will often make text files smaller, and makes it easier to edit
- files when you use editors such as EDT and microEMACS.
-
- Both programs were compiled with Manx Aztec C version 3.4a -
