If I want to get the length of each match within the parentheses in the following regex, how do I do it?:
^\(\-\+\s\)\+
I'm trying to modify the width of columns in a buffer with data that is laid out as a table. Since the first two rows of the table will look like this
DESIGN_ID DESIGN_YEAR SOURCE_REFERENCE
---------- ----------- ----------------
I want to use the regular expression to find the current width of each column.
