Released

Path

c:\tabspace\tabspace64.exe

Benefits

The conversion is done so that the alignment always stays the same - the conversion does not simply replace the characters, but uses an algorithm to find out how the replacement has to be done.

Notes

It also removes spaces at the end of lines. It works with ANSI, UTF-8 and even UTF-16 (on Windows mostly referred to as Unicode) files alike.

Examples

tabspace64.exe d:\www  /include:cfmlx.cfm
