title: Search and replace all characters past the first occurrence of space in each line in Vim?
body: <p>I have some text in the following format:</p>
  <pre><code>column1 DATE,
  column2 VARCHAR2(6),
  column3 VARCHAR2(15)
  </code></pre>
  <p>(It is the format of Oracle column definitions in case you are wondering.)</p>
  <p>I’ve been trying to figure out how to replace everything past the space in each line with <code>VARCHAR2(255),</code>, but haven’t been successful yet.</p>
  <p>I know I can search the occurrences of space via <code>/\s</code>, but I can’t figure out how to get the rest of the string on the line. When I use <code>/\s*</code>, it highlights all the text. I attempted to use <code>/\s.+</code>, but I get a “Pattern not found” error.</p>
  <p>How can I get all text past the space in each line and replace it globally with another string?</p>
