Hi,

 I looked in ":h range" and ":h address" (which is same, I recognized
 then :) and :h repeat for an answer to my question, but did not find
 what I am searching for. I have no other ideas for keywords.



 With (for example)

          <cnt>i<char><ESC>

 one can insert cnt characters <char> like this (70 x '.')

 ......................................................................

 Suppose this would be a seperator line in an ascii text.

 Now s/he has written:

 Chapter 1: Green Floyd

 and want to get

 Chapter 1: Green Floyd...............................................

 so s/he needs to insert 

        70 - "Chapter 1: Green Floyd".length()           // ruby notation

 characters. Or in other words s/he needs to insert characters til
 column 70.

 Is it possible to do this without inserting '.' "analogous" til the
 column counter reaches '70' or counting characters "by hand" (== with
 head)?

 Kind regards,
 mcc
