Re^2: Align given substring(s) in lines

That's neat -- I've never used perltidy, as I'm not a really big fan of automated/mandated coding style (unless I'm reading obfuscated code), but that's a pretty good use case.

I'm not a really big fan of automated/mandated coding style (unless I'm reading obfuscated code) When I'm writing code, I just write it in my own style anyway, and when working on someone else's code that has a consistent style I usually try to copy that. I basically only use `perltidy` when someone else's code is hard to read (like some of the questions posted here sometimes have mixed up indentation), and I've worked out my own `perltidyrc` that produces output that's close enough to my own style. Running `perltidy` on my code would usually mess up my style in a few small places so I don't do that `:-)`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
