I am using Google Docs to edit digitalized documents. Those documents end up with whitespace at the beginning of every paragraph, which I have to replace with tabs so they do not take up space at a Braille Display. How can I replace these whitespace sequences with one tab?
Replace whitespace with tabs at the beginning of paragraph only
google documents
This can be done with the script given below. Enter it under Tools > Script Editor, and run. It will replace any amount of whitespace at the beginning of a paragraph with a single tab. Other whitespace will remain untouched. function spaces2tabs() {    var paras = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody().getParagraphs();  for (var i = 0 ; i < paras.length; i++) {    paras[i].replaceText(^\\s+, \t);  }}
