Thanks Kyle, I was trying to align a chunk of code using Tabularize plugin:

1. name1="Woof"
2. lucky_dog = lucky( "dog_one"= name1, 
3.                    "dog_two"= name1 )
4. name2="Howl"

I wanted it to align like this:

1. name1       = "Woof"
2. lucky_dog = lucky( "dog_one"= name1, 
3.                                    "dog_two"= name1 )
4. name2       = "Howl"

But I cannot do so because Tabularize will take third line into consideration, 
and align everything into:

1.name1                          = "Woof"
2.lucky_dog                    = lucky( "dog_one"= name1,
3.                   "dog_two" = name1 )
4.name2                          = "Howl"

I believe I could think of some regex trick to archive the desired results, it 
just occurred to me at first that maybe I could simply select line 1,2,4 and 
make those align.

Then I realized this is not a easy task, and hence the question.
