Hello, Juan:

Yes, it has worked always. It does what it should do, but certain tabs
weren't converted to spaces (as I wanted) and/or it inserted tabs (I
haven't tested this one, but still). What I wanted was to remove tabs
and substitute them by spaces. The solutions of defining a new
function worked nicely.

Thanks,
diego.
