Regex not working for end of line comment characters
Hello, I apologize if this is because I am using the wrong regex for this, I am not great with regex. I am trying to align the --
or --!
characters in a chunk of lines like this
s_1 <= '1'; -- some comment
s_long_sig_name <= "100000"; -- I want this aligned
to this
s_1 <= '1'; -- some comment
s_2 <= "100000"; -- I want this aligned
And this
i_a : in std_logic; --! Signal A
i_b : in std_logic_vector; --! Signal B
to this
i_a : in std_logic; --! Signal A
i_b : in std_logic_vector; --! Signal B
I have tried selecting the lines, and then running easy align (with ga
in Visual Mode) and then <C-x> for regex with the patter --
and --!
and those don't work. I have done .*--
which yields
i_a : in std_logic; -- ! Signal A
i_b : in std_logic_vector; -- ! Signal B
Am I missing something?
