[TxMt] Snippet Overtype

[Craig Francis]

In CSS, I block out parts of the code with comments like...


/*--------------------------------------------------*/
/* Heading                                          */


I am a little obsessive compulsive, in that each of the comments  
should use 50 hyphens to keep them all neat and tidy... in a mono- 
type font.

Is it possible to make a snippet that will add the relevant number of  
spaces after the words?

So in the example above, the word "Heading" uses 7 characters, plus 1  
for the space on the left, leaves 42 spaces on the right.

I was considering the use of...


/*--------------------------------------------------*/
/* $1                                              ${1/./\0x0D/g} */$0


Where the "\0x0D" is the hex code for the back space key.

Any ideas?
