Function to Convert Tabs Into Spaces

[NaterSkater]

Hi All,

I'm having the age old problem of past users code being formatted all wrong and I need to re-structure it.
Is there a function in the Zeus IDE that will convert all the tabs to spaces in the current document being edited?
Thanks for any help.

You can do this using a Zeus macro and the macro in question is the following:

Code: Select all

zScript\detab.lua

For example, if you load a file into Zeus and then use the Macros, Execute Script menu and type in detab this will run that macro and it will remove tabs from the current file without destroying the text layout.

NOTE: When run the macro will ask a question in the Zeus status bar. Answer that question by hit the Y or N key.

You can also bind the macro to a keyboard key to make it easier to run.

IMPORTANT: Naturally you should also make sure your files are under source control (or least in a backup location) before running this macro, just in case

Cheers Jussi
