Introduction
------------

Two months ago I was editing a makefile but I had a big problem :
My text editor didn't save tabs in my file so make didn't want
my makefile. So I decided to write this little tool which allows
you to add tabs in your files.


Installation
------------

Just copy AddTabs where you want.

Usage
-----

From CLI : AddTabs <Input> <Output> <char>

where Input is the name of the input file (without tabs), Output is the
name of the output file (with tabs) and char stands for the character
which will be swapped with the tab character.

Example : If you have the following makefile,

jdc.o:jdc.h jdc.c
^gcc -c jdc.c

you can run AddTabs like that :

AddTabs makefile makefile2 ^

and all '^' will be swapped with nice tabs.

Warning :

 - NEVER use the same name for input file and output file or you will
   loose your input file.

 - AddTabs searches ALL the characters matching with the one you specify
   so don't use a character which can be useful in your file (I suggest
   ^ for makefiles).

 - Respect the syntaxic order when you run AddTabs or the program will
   react in a VERY weird way.
