Re: [ jEdit-users ] Aligning Columns

[Felix C. <fe...@ke...>]

What I meant is  a tool where you select a block of text (rectangular or 
otherwise) and the tool aligns the text into columns based on whitespace 
or maybe other punctuation.

Example:
this...

typedef enum
{
    Bob =   1,
    Jane =       3,
    Jeffery = 5
}

goes to ...

typedef enum
{
    Bob     = 1,
    Jane    = 3,
    Jeffery = 5
}

I think Codewright has a tool like this.
