tabspace

tabspace is a super handy command line tool that helps you convert tabs to spaces and vice versa. This little app is especially useful for programmers. It lets you automatically change these formats in C, CPP, CC, CS, H, and HPP files, saving you loads of time!

How to Use tabspace

If you want to see all the commands available in tabspace, just type in the "-help" command. It’ll show you a list of all the options you can use along with some explanations for each function. Pretty neat, right?

Default Settings and Customization

By default, tabspace converts tabs into spaces. But guess what? You can change it to flip spaces back into tabs! It can handle the file extensions we mentioned earlier, but if you've got other file formats in mind, you can add those too by specifying them as a parameter.

Inclusion and Exclusion Lists

You can also set up inclusion and exclusion lists based on name patterns. The app will look for these compatible formats in your current directory unless you tell it to check a specific path.

Add More Options

tabspace even gives you extra options! You can choose to ignore white spaces at the end of lines or inside C/C++ strings. In simpler terms, it can get rid of those pesky spaces at the end of each line!

No Changes? No Problem!

If you're just curious about how many tabs or spaces are in your files without making any changes, there's an option for that too! Just keep it simple.

The Bottom Line on tabspace

You won't find tons of features juggling around with tabspace, but that’s okay! It does exactly what it promises: it switches spaces to tabs and vice versa across various types of files like a champ.
