Replacing Tabs (^T) with spaces....
 
Hi,

I am using vi editor in RHEL4.0. Can anybody help me how to replace Ctrl-T(Tab) with spaces or something else. When i searched to find Tab spaces (/^T) it is not giving any results. Also guide me how to replace various Ctrl-Characters.

Thank you one and all!!
