I would argue that you are mistaken, although that depends somewhat on your definition of 'easy'. > , I had to launch windows and use notepad++. There is the Linux command 'expand' , which I have never used, but which sounds like it will do what you want: $ expand --help Usage: expand [OPTION]... [FILE]... Convert tabs in each FILE to spaces, writing to standard output. As an Emacs user, personally I would use the command M-x untabify within Emacs. I assume that Vim has something similar.
