Hi all,

I have a problem.
I use Toad formatter to format my code.
But if I use the same code to run on Oracle which is hosted on unix the tab charecter changes to some "^?"

Is there a way in which tabs can be changed to spaces?

It is ^I (Control+I) character . open the code in vi editor and do the following.

vi <file_name>
go to command mode (by entering : (colon))
then type s/<control+v>then type I/<blank space>/g then hit enter
the bits which i have mentioned within <..> are type by that particular key sequence.

HTH

Regards

Raj

You didn't mention your TOAD version, so this suggestion (based on TOAD 8.6.1) might (or might not) be helpful: select 'View' menu and 'Formatting Options'. Open 'General Layout' and click 'Tabs'. Change 'Output Tabs' to 'Insert spaces' (instead of 'Insert tabs').
