# expand
> Convert tabs to spaces.
- Convert tabs in each file to spaces, writing to standard output:
`expand {{file}}`
- Convert tabs to spaces, reading from standard input:
`expand`
- Do not convert tabs after non blanks:
`expand -i {{file}}`
- Have tabs a certain number of characters apart, not 8:
`expand -t={{number}} {{file}}`
- Use comma separated list of explicit tab positions:
`expand -t={{list}}`
