Render tab character in string control

[PJM_Labview]

In most software a tab character (/t) is "visually equivalent" to several space characters (see tab list below in notepad).

Unfortunately in LabVIEW, a tab character is visually equivalent (in normal display mode) to 1 space character. I am proposing that this should be change to be n space character.

PalleM, you could just use the Search and Replace String function.  There is a boolean for Replace All on the top that you need to set to TRUE.  Wire the tab constant into the search string.  For the replace string, you can use Initialize Array with a Space Constant going into the value and your Number of Spaces into the size.  Use a Concatinate String directly on the array (1 input on the concatination) and the result goes into the replace string of the Search and Replace String.

crossrulz, not entirely what I was looking for. Your suggestion does not take into account how far into the current line that the tab occured. If for example the tab occurs as the 2nd character on line 1, and the 4th character on line 2, i want the text following the tabs to line up after character place 8

I would love this in Free Labels as well so when I copy/paste text code (C/JS etc) it looks so much better with nice indentation.
