Hi,

I have two sentences that share the same symbols (i.e. /*-) and would like to fix the whitespaces of the second sentence according the whitespaces of the first. For instance:

This is a perl script/program.

C'est un perl script / programme.

The second senctence should be:

c'est un perl script/programme.

Please note that the sentence can contain lots of symbols. In that case, ideally the first should align with the first, the second with the second and so on.

Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
