you could try something like
:%s/^\s*\(\w\+\)\s*-\s*\(\w\+\)/\=submatch(1).strpart(' ',
strlen(submatch(1))).' - '.submatch(2)/
(all in one line)

Hello dear list-members,
I have a question on replacing text. I have a simple text-file with a table of
results like this:
------------------------------------------------------
Mosbach - KSF 2 2 : 6
Zimmer - Pfrommer 0
Mueller - Kargoll 1
Schwab - Fecht 0
Mattern - Arlt 0
Huth - Mueller 0
Alm - Kiefhaber,H. 0.5
Rastert - Vinke 0
Schnirch - Kiefhaber,V. 0.5
I would like to have the file formatted, e.g. first to have all the "-" in one
column (for example at position 15), like this:
------------------------------------------------------
Mosbach - KSF 2 2 : 6
Zimmer - Pfrommer 0
Mueller - Kargoll 1
Schwab - Fecht 0
Mattern - Arlt 0
Huth - Mueller 0
Alm - Kiefhaber,H. 0.5
Rastert - Vinke 0
Schnirch - Kiefhaber,V. 0.5
I played with some search & replace commands, for example:
:%s/^\([A-Z][a-z]* \)/\1 /
But I do not know how to tell VIM that it should fill the room with whitespaces
till position 15 (like above).
I'm convinced this is possible but I do not know how, since I just began to
learn the powerful regex-functionality....
Thank you for any help!
Best regards,
Dan
