Seeing an example of your css, we can see the problem. The perl
script wasn't expecting NO space after the colon.
So change the script line that is now
s/([-a-z ]+:)\s+(.+)/sprintf("%-20s",$1) . "$2"/ie;
to
s/([-a-z ]+:)\s*(.+)/sprintf("%-20s",$1) . "$2"/ie;
The change is because the '+' after \s makes at least one
whitespace (denoted by \s) mandatory; using '*' there allows no
whitespace as well as multiple whitespaces.
"Whitespace" == spacebar space, tab, return, etc.
If that works, there are some refinements to the sprintf that
might get you closer to your original request of attribute at
col 4 and value at col 60.
See if this works first, and post again for more.

so this is the filter:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while (<>){
s/([-a-z ]+:)\s+(.+)/sprintf("%-20s",$1) . "$2"/ie;
print;
}
this is the css:
.tlLinkSubQuarter {
width:24%;
float:left;
overflow:hidden;
font-size:12px;
}
When I run the filter, bbedit did its job it seems but nothing changes..
can a perl pro trace this simple code for me and or explain it?

So the first group is all up to the colon, then the next group starts at
char 20? Ten the flags i & e
Thanks a ton!! I have had to convert lots of CSS and this makes it so much
cleaner.
