Is it possible to left align a rectangular selection? Example: 1 a 2 b 3 c I want to select and left align the a,b,c column. Thanks |

Select the a,b,c column with keyboard or control+click+drag with mouse and then press control+f to find in the selection: replace the regular expression ^\s+ with nothing. That will remove all leading spaces in the column, thereby left aligning them. |

Thanks everyone, I found the \A\s+ works. If you use \s+ you will lose any spaces within the selected string. \A ensures that only the beginning space(s) are changed to "nothing." -----Original Message----- From: Shlomy Reinstein [mailto:sre...@gm...] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 3:24 PM To: Robert Schwenn Cc: jed...@li...

No, if found it here: http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html And yes, the alignment does affect everything on the line after the rectangular selection. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Schwenn [mailto:Robert@Schwenn-R.de] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 3:48 PM Cc: jed...@li...

I did not try it, but thought that I had used the same technique successfully in the past. I wrongly expected the left-most edge of the selection to behave as a line-beginning, thereby matching the ^ anchor. |
