Re: How to get the current column regardless of the content of the curre

Which function could I use to obtain the column of the current position that would work for any line regardless of its content?

(defun my/current-column ()
  (- (point) (progn (save-excursion (beginning-of-line) (point)))))


Sorry, the progn is unnecessary:

(defun my/current-column ()
  (- (point) (save-excursion (beginning-of-line) (point))))
