How to set 4 space tab in bash

Question

It look like set tabstop=4 in VIM, but I don\'t know how to set it in bash

for example:

echo -e \"1234567890\\t321\\n1\\t2\         


        

Answer 1

You can use setterm to set this

setterm -regtabs 4

I put it in my .bash_profile but its not bash related specifically
