Given a line with tabs in it, \f(CW\*(C`expand\*(C'\fR replaces those tabs with the appropriate number of spaces. Given a line with or without tabs in it, \f(CW\*(C`unexpand\*(C'\fR adds tabs when it can save bytes by doing so, like the \f(CW\*(C`unexpand \-a\*(C'\fR command. .PP Unlike the old unix utilities, this module correctly accounts for any Unicode combining characters (such as diacriticals) that may occur in each line for both expansion and unexpansion. These are overstrike characters that do not increment the logical position. Make sure you have the appropriate Unicode settings enabled. .SH EXPORTS .IX Header "EXPORTS" The following are exported: .IP expand 4 .IX Item "expand" .PD 0 .IP unexpand 4 .IX Item "unexpand" .ie n .IP $tabstop 4 .el .IP \f(CW$tabstop\fR 4 .IX Item "$tabstop" .PD The \f(CW$tabstop\fR variable controls how many column positions apart each tabstop is. The default is 8. .Sp Please note that \f(CWlocal($tabstop)\fR doesn't do the right thing and if you want to use \f(CW\*(C`local\*(C'\fR to override \f(CW$tabstop\fR, you need to use \&\f(CWlocal($Text::Tabs::tabstop)\fR. .SH EXAMPLE .IX Header "EXAMPLE" .Vb 3 \& #!perl \& # unexpand \-a \& use Text::Tabs; \& \& while (<>) { \& print unexpand $_; \& } .Ve .PP Instead of the shell's \f(CW\*(C`expand\*(C'\fR command, use: .PP .Vb 1 \& perl \-MText::Tabs \-n \-e \*(Aqprint expand $_\*(Aq .Ve .PP Instead of the shell's \f(CW\*(C`unexpand \-a\*(C'\fR command, use: .PP .Vb 1 \& perl \-MText::Tabs \-n \-e \*(Aqprint unexpand $_\*(Aq .Ve .SH BUGS .IX Header "BUGS" Text::Tabs handles only tabs (\f(CW"\et"\fR) and combining characters (\f(CW\*(C`/\epM/\*(C'\fR). It doesn't count backwards for backspaces (\f(CW"\et"\fR), omit other non-printing control characters (\f(CW\*(C`/\epC/\*(C'\fR), or otherwise deal with any other zero\-, half\-, and full-width characters. .SH LICENSE .IX Header "LICENSE" Copyright (C) 1996\-2002,2005,2006 David Muir Sharnoff.
