[TxMt] Re: Replace spaces with tabs at beginning of line

[Anthony V. Pulido]

I just tried that and it is replacing spaces with tabs now, but it replaces all leading spaces with one tab. I tried it on a line with 19 leading spaces, all of which were replaced with one tab. I have set the tab size to 1, 2, 3, etc., without any change in the outcome.

In case, I've made sure that the leading spaces are indeed spaces, and not tabs with a size of one space.
