Hi!

I am using IOTAEditPosition to obtain a line
from the IDE, but EditPosition.Read returns a string
with tab charachters. EditPosition.Column however
knows the width of those tabs and returns the charachter
count based position, where each tab accounts for several
spaces. 

How can I get a string where the tabs have been replaced with
correct number of spaces to have the right column position?

Thanks!
Atmapuri
