One of our clients wants some reports that come from one of his vendors imported into his database. The reports come in an ASCII file and we use low-level file functions to import the file. The problem is that some times the report has tabs in instead of spaces. Is there a way to figure out how many spaces a tab takes up? Depending on when it tabs the tab could take up 5 spaces to just 1 but how do you know?
