Hi

How can I display tabs(tab characters) in a file ?
Is there any command in vi which displays tabs ? Thanks in advance

yeah, in command mode do "set list", and the ^I is the tab identfier. To undo it do "set nolist". An infinite number of monkey typing at an infinite number of keyboards will eventually populate the internet.
 
Is that not what I said? An infinite number of monkey typing at an infinite number of keyboards will eventually populate the internet.
 
Sorry,
I was typing my post at the same time yours was entered.
