## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} untabify (@var{t}, @var{tw})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} untabify (@var{t}, @var{tw}, @var{deblank})
## Replace TAB characters in @var{t}, with spaces.
## The tab width is specified by @var{tw}, or defaults to eight.
## The input, @var{t}, may be either a 2-D character array, or a cell
## array of character strings.  The output is the same class
## as the input.
##
## If the optional argument @var{deblank} is true, then the spaces will
## be removed from the end of the character data.
##
## The following example reads a file and writes an untabified version
## of the same file with trailing spaces stripped.
##
## @example
## @group
## fid = fopen ("tabbed_script.m");
## text = char (fread (fid, "uchar")');
## fclose (fid);
## fid = fopen ("untabified_script.m", "w");
## text = untabify (strsplit (text, "\n"), 8, true);
## fprintf (fid, "%s\n", text@{:@});
## fclose (fid);
## @end group
## @end example
