How to find the 3rd occurrence of a pattern on a line

Question

Today I had to align a table at only the first multiple spaces on a line.

p.e.

    move window     three lines     down  
<         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

:Tabularize /^.\{-}\S\s\{2,}

Yes, Tabularize uses Vim's regex, so the example on Eelvex's answer should work.
