Hello Rob.

Looks like you're using edit to create your makefile.
The rapid way to correct your makefiles is to make a little program to do it.

Simply write the following flex program, and save it to tabrepl.l :
%%
^" "+	printf("\t");


then the following makefile (do this without edit !!!):
tabrepl.exe : tabrepl.l
	flex tabrepl.l
	gcc -s -O2 -o tabrepl.exe lexyy.c -lfl


then make, to create tabrepl.exe
then create the following batch to make the use easier : (tab.bat for example)
tabrepl.exe < makefile > makef2
copy /Y makef2 makefile

copy tabrepl.exe and tab.bat to you bin directory.
Now, when typing tab from any directory, your makefile is corrected .....

This works, but I know this is heavy : tabrepl.exe is sthg like 38400 bytes ... sorry for that!

Hope this helps.
Ask me for anything about the above !
