Hi,
I’ve found a Java code, which makes alignments for the `=` sign (see it below). The code is written for the UltraEdit. Could anyone translate it to a general one so that it could be used in the EmEditor as well?
Thank you!

CODE:

//alignEqual.js
//Bego
//Aligns the SELECTION by the Equal-sign. Might be configured with Left or Right alignment!
//Version 1.1 25.10.2007 result once was shifting 1 column to the left for each run: pos1 = getColOfFirstChar();// – 1;
// 1.2 25.10.2007 Now MYSIGN can be really sth. else like “=”, e.g. “/”, but yet still only ONE character
// 1.3 25.10.2007 Shifting result in 1.1 was Problem of configuration of home-key when pressed twice. Made it safe now
// CloseFile workaround 13.20+2
