[Cialug] Regex Question

[Tim Wilson]

I forgot the 4 leading spaces in front of the 1st %. That’s what I get for
doing it on one computer and typing it into an email on another.

I have another line that will figure out the length of the first indented
word. It’s rather long and is composed of several commands joined by pipes.
I’ll send it later.
