If it's java code: define a code formatting style that specifies to use
spaces and reformat your code. The wanted or unwanted side-effect will
be that your code is reformatted.

If you havent got too much code, you could do a search and replace manually.

Find: \t
Replace: (4 spaces)

and check the "Regular expressions" option.

That's not guaranteed to yield properly indented code, is it? A tab is
not always four spaces - could be less depending on the position of the
tab.

Kind regards
