Tabularize

[!TIP|label:references:]

• Tabular cheatsheet
• align with first space : /^\s*\S\+\zs/l0c1l0
• align the second = to left : /^\(.\{-}\zs=\)\{2}/l1l0

• including the <sep>

  • align to left

    :Tabularize /<sep>
    

    • or

      :Tabularize /<sep>/l1
      

  • align to center

    :Tabularize /<sep>/r1c1l0
    

  

• align without <sep>

  [!NOTE] help /zs

  :Tabularize /<sep>\zs/<specifier>
  

align with the N pattern

i.e.: the second match (=)

• refer to matches the N pattern

• align on first matche

  • align the first :

    :Tabularize /^[^:]*\zs:
    

    or

    :Tabularize /:.*
    

  

  • via vim cmd

    [!NOTE] only for default left-alignemnt. Not support customized right/middle alignment. i.e.: /r1c1l0

    command! -nargs=1 -range First exec <line1> . ',' . <line2> . 'Tabularize /^[^' . escape(<q-args>, '\^$.[?*~') . ']*\zs' . escape(<q-args>, '\^$.[?*~')
    

• align with 2nd matches

  :Tabularize /^\(.\{-}\zs=\)\{N}/
               |
              `^` means start of the line
  

  

• or with \v (very magic)

  reference:

  • :help \v
  • vim pattern: overview of ordinary atoms

  :Tabularize /\v^(.{-}\zs\=){N}/<specifier>
  

• for every N matches

  : Tabularize /\(.\{-}\zs=\)\{N}/<specifier>
               |
               no `^` means every `{N}` matches
  

  • or

    :Tabularize /\v(.{-}\zs\=){N}/<specifier>
    

align on specific symbol

[!NOTE|label:pre condition:]

• align the first : and last matches , as below:

  [
  isRunning : proc.getOrDefault( 'run' , false ) ,
  name : proc.getOrDefault( 'name' , '') ,
  runningStage : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] ) ,
  type : proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
  ]
  

• first :

  reference: via

  • /^[^;]*\zs:
  • /^[^;]*\zs:/r1c1l0
  • /^[^;]*/r1c1l0

  • /^[^:]*\zs:

    isRunning    : proc.getOrDefault( 'run' , false ) ,
    name         : proc.getOrDefault( 'name' , '') ,
    runningStage : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] ) ,
    type         : proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
    

    

  • /^[^:]*\zs/r1c1l0

       isRunning  : proc.getOrDefault( 'run' , false ) ,
            name  : proc.getOrDefault( 'name' , '') ,
    runningStage  : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] ) ,
            type  : proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
    

  • /^[^:]*\zs:/r1c1l0

       isRunning : proc.getOrDefault( 'run' , false ) ,
            name : proc.getOrDefault( 'name' , '') ,
    runningStage : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] ) ,
            type : proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
    

    

  • /^[^:]*/r1c1l0

      isRunning   : proc.getOrDefault( 'run' , false ) ,
        name      : proc.getOrDefault( 'name' , '') ,
    runningStage  : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] ) ,
        type      : proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
    

  • /^[^:]*:/r1c1l0:

      isRunning :  proc.getOrDefault( 'run' , false ) ,
        name :     proc.getOrDefault( 'name' , '') ,
    runningStage : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] ) ,
        type :     proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
    

• last ,

  tips:

  • actually the pattern not matches with the final ,, but matches with )<.*> ,

  sample code:

     isRunning : proc.getOrDefault( 'run' , false ) ,
          name : proc.getOrDefault( 'name' , '') ,
  runningStage : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] ) ,
          type : proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
  

  • /)[^,]*\zs,

       isRunning : proc.getOrDefault( 'run' , false )       ,
            name : proc.getOrDefault( 'name' , '')          ,
    runningStage : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] )   ,
            type : proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
    

    • or even better align

      • :1,3Tabularize /, or :'<,'>Tabularize /,

           isRunning : proc.getOrDefault( 'run'   , false )   ,
                name : proc.getOrDefault( 'name'  , '')       ,
        runningStage : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] ) ,
                type : proc.type.split('^.*\\u00BB\\s*').last() ,
        

      • :Tabularize /)[^,]*\zs,

           isRunning : proc.getOrDefault( 'run'   , false )     ,
                name : proc.getOrDefault( 'name'  , '')         ,
        runningStage : proc.getOrDefault( 'stage' , ['all'] )   ,
