Let say I have these dates:
Variable 1 - 21.185 Variable a - 22.345
Variable 2 - 1.401.218 Variable b - 1.821
Variable 3 - apples Variable c - 17.643
Variable 4 - water Variable d - 56.030
Variable 5 - 656.647 Variable e - 65.123
Variable 6 - 92.200 Variable f - 2.000
I would like to select the 2nd column (21.185 to 92.200) and right
align all the info in the block
I use this to left align the data in a block:
:<C-U>'<,'>s/\%V\(\s*\)\(.\{-}\)\%(\%V\@!\\|$\)/\2\1/
Looks like there's an extra \ that shouldn't be there before the |.
How do I right align the data in a block?
Try
:<C-U>'<,'>s/\%V\(.\{-}\)\(\s\{-}\)\%(\%V\@!\|$\)/\2\1/
The non-greedy matches are important so Vim doesn't get 'carried away'
and match too much, going outside the visual region and/or including
spaces in the part designed to catch primarily 'non-spaces'
Ben.
I tried to switch the space block with the text block in the code but
something doesn't work.
