But what to do I have some more columns (whith different widths) and I want
a column which fills the rest of the line. Something like this:

| This is column one | two | anonother | And finaly, this column fills up to |
|                    |     |           | the end of the line.                |
| another entry      | two | column    | I don't want to specify the width   |
|                    |     |           | myself, simply because I don't know |

or

| Column one | Now this column is much wider than in the previous example    |
|            | but fills up the whole width also                             |
