You are looking for moreverb package which implements \verbatimtab
command for including the file in verbatim mode and also 'verbatimtab'
environment. It supports also line numberin of the listing.

tabs are evil. If you are on unix you can use the expand program to get
rid of them. The answer to Can Emacs is always yes. In this case
M-x untabify
as a last resort you can use the extended versions of verbatim in the
verbatim and moreverb packages, one of which will preserve tabs.

Some TeX Systems :-) allow you to specify that you are using
tab stops at columns that are multiples of some number (8 or 4
typically) and then translate tabs to the appropriate number of
spaces. Or you can detabify in Emacs...

C-X housework-do-ironing

However you need housework.el, which has a few bugs, and therefore has
been withdrawn until they can be fixed. Followups to
