Converting TABs to Spaces

When you want to publish PowerShell code, you may want to make sure that all TAB characters are converted to one or more spaces to save space.

Here's the code that turns TAB characters to spaces:

PS> $text = "This is a`tTAB-delimited`tText"
PS> $text
This is a       TAB-delimited   Text
PS> $text -replace '\t', '  '
This is a  TAB-delimited  Text
