sed/grep problems

[Claus S. Jensen]

  I'm looking for a way to do some things concerning the tab-symbol.

1) I would like to find occurences of tab (\t) in a file.
   grep "\t" <file> doesn't work.

2) And I would like to use sed to replace these tabs with
   spaces.
   sed -e "s/\t/   /g" <file> doesn't work.


  If anybody know anything about this please answer the questions.
