Given a string, being placed on the screen at column X, returns the same string with all tab characters (\t) replaced according to this TabBehaviour.
Params:
  • string – String that is going to be put to the screen, potentially containing tab characters
  • columnIndex – Column on the screen where the first character of the string is going to end up
Returns:The input string with all tab characters replaced with spaces, according to this TabBehaviour
