Add Tab Space to text

Hi W_J_T,

not bad. Perhaps this additions are also helpful for Puthoskey :

// tabulator_replaceSpaceWithTabulator.jsx
// required: a selected text frame
// https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2076401

function addTabs() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var txt = doc.selection[0];
    
    if (txt.typename == "TextFrame") {
        // useful complement, based on code IMHO written by Jongware
        tabInf = new Array(1);
        tabInf[0] = new TabStopInfo;
        // set here the tabulator position in pt/px
        tabInf[0].position = 55;  
        curTxtString = txt.contents;
        // curTxtString = curTxtString.replace('NAME:', 'NAME:\t').replace('ADDRESS:', 'ADDRESS:\t').replace('DATE:', 'DATE:\t').replace('PHONE:', 'PHONE:\t');
        // !!! Do not forget to replace the spaces too !!!
        curTxtString = curTxtString.replace('NAME: ', 'NAME:\t').replace('ADDRESS: ', 'ADDRESS:\t').replace('DATE: ', 'DATE:\t').replace('PHONE: ', 'PHONE:\t');
        txt.contents = curTxtString;
        for (i=0; i<txt.paragraphs.length; i++) {
            txt.paragraphs.tabStops = tabInf;

            }
        }
    }

addTabs();

Have fun
