# expand
> Convert tabs to spaces.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/expand>.
- Convert tabs in each file to spaces, writing to `stdout`:
`expand {{path/to/file}}`
- Convert tabs to spaces, reading from `stdin`:
`expand`
- Do not convert tabs after non blanks:
`expand -i {{path/to/file}}`
- Have tabs a certain number of characters apart, not 8:
`expand -t={{number}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Use a comma separated list of explicit tab positions:
`expand -t={{1,4,6}}`
