An alternative to the above code line (faster?) would be

	$text =~tr/\t//d;

As for CR's (^M as you say), try "\r". As a matter of fact this line
will replace tabs, newlines CR's and spaces to one single space:

	$text =~ tr/\n\r\t / /s;

Which might be useful. Sorry for the off-topic post ;-), but it seemed
like the best way to get this over with, fast.
