Today I had to align a table at only the first multiple spaces on a line.
p.e.
<ScrollWheelDown> move window three lines down
<S-ScrollWheelDown> move window one page down
<ScrollWheelUp> move window three lines up
<S-ScrollWheelUp> move window one page up
I use Tabular plugin to align tables but I could not find a way how to find only the first occurrence of multiple spaces and do an align only there.
I don't know it either in VIM: What will be the regex if I only want to find the 3rd occurrence of a pattern on a line? Is the regex the same as using Tabular?

1) Select Lookup from the drop-down list of Formula Type section; 2) Choose Find where the character appear Nth in a string in Choose a formula section; 3) Select the cell which contains the string you use, then type the specified character and nth occurrence in to the textboxes in the Arguments input section.
You can find the nth occurrence of a substring in a string by splitting at the substring with max n+1 splits. If the resulting list has a size greater than n+1, it means that the substring occurs more than n times.
Simplest solution for this specific case is to use the offset parameter: $pos = strpos($info, '-', strpos($info, '-') + 1);
The regex would be:
/\(.\{-}\zsPATTERN\)\{3}
So if, for example, you want to change the 3rd 'foo' to 'bar' on the following line:
lorem ifoopsum foo lor foor ipsum foo dolor foo
^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5
run:
s/\(.\{-}\zsfoo\)\{3}/bar/
to get:
lorem ifoopsum foo lor barr ipsum foo dolor foo
^1 ^2 ^3=bar ^4 ^5
