When TM inserts snippets it performs auto-indentation, that is what  
causes the extra tabs. And those tabs depend on the current line, so  
it will not always be two either. Unless someone knows of a way to  
disable the auto-indentation I think the easiest might be to revert  
to insert as regular text, and create a macro that calls the command  
and is followed by a search that will take care of the selection.

BTW the line with the regular expression will match more than 4 tabs  
at the beginning, and will not match if the line does not have a line  
feed at the end. This one should work better (untested):

	if(/^\t{4}(\S.*)[\r\n]*$/)
