Dear Tex users,
I need to find the text width of a particular column inside a tabular
and print it along with the data. But my present code prints only the
width or data. Please help me to print both.
\box0 not only outputs a box but also empties the box. Use \copy:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\newlength{\mywidth}
\def\widh#1{\settowidth{\mywidth}{#1}\the\mywidth:#1}
\newcolumntype{R}{>{\width}r<{\endwidth}}
\def\width{\setbox0=\hbox\bgroup}
\def\endwidth{\egroup\widh{\copy0}\box0}
%\def\endwidth{\egroup\copy0\widh{\box0}}
\begin{document}
\widh{aaa}
\begin{tabular}{lRl}
Meek & dfdf & entry \\
Meek & sddsdsd & entry \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
