'tabstops' is a program that translates a file with columns separated by
|
|
|
2 |
"visually correct" spaces to a file with columns separated by one TAB character.
|
|
|
3 |
It is supposed that there isn't any TAB character in the input file.
|
|
|
4 |
|
|
|
5 |
Input file is 'stdin', and output is 'stdout'.
|
|
|
6 |
The parameters are the column position of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ... columns.

If you add the parameter "-r", then the reverse action is performed. You have a
|
|
|
25 |
file with columns separated with TAB characters, and you get a file with columns
|
|
|
26 |
separated by spaces at the position you asked for.
