20 ## @deftypefn {Function file} untabify (@var{t})
21 ## @deftypefnx {Function file} untabify (@var{t}, @var{tw})
22 ## @deftypefnx {Function file} untabify (@var{t}, @var{tw}, @var{deblank})
23 ## Replace TAB characters in @var{t}, with spaces.
24 ## The tab width is specified by @var{tw}, or defaults to eight.
25 ## The input, @var{t}, may be either a 2D character array, or a cell
26 ## array of character strings. The output is the same class
27 ## as the input.
28 ##
29 ## If the optional argument @var{deblank} is true, then the spaces will
30 ## be removed from the end of the character data.
31 ##
32 ## The following example reads a file and writes an untabified version
33 ## of the same file with trailing spaces stripped.
34 ##
35 ## @example
36 ## @group
37 ## fid = fopen ("tabbed_script.m");
38 ## text = char (fread (fid, "uchar")');
39 ## fclose (fid);
40 ## fid = fopen ("untabified_script.m", "w");
41 ## text = untabify (strsplit (text, "\n"), 8, true);
42 ## fprintf (fid, "%s\n", text{:});
43 ## fclose (fid);
44 ## @end group
45 ## @end example

47 ## @seealso{strjust, strsplit, deblank}
