Re: column alignment ?

There are plugins to help: Tabularize is the one I use.  So assuming the larger spaces were \t characters (actual tabs), it'd be :Tabularize /\t

If they are really spaces, you can get clever with a search/replace before calling the plugin. Something like  s/\s+/ - / (replace multiple spaces with a dash). Then :Tabularize /- to organize on that dash. Then you can use column edit mode (ctrl-v) to delete the dash you no longer need.

I'm sure you can do it in other more clever ways, but that's how I'd get it done.

I start out with this:

I want to end up with this:

still more text    still more text

I have no idea what help to look for or if this is even possible
except for doing it manually. Is there a way to use a specific column
on each line to accomplish this with maybe a s/search/replace/ ?
