table [-h|--help] [-F|--field-separator] [-R|--record-separator] [-H|--no-header] [-d|--debug] [-s|--style [rst|psql|md|jira]|--rst|--psql|--md|--jira] [files]
table takes text as fields and records and transforms it as a table. Inspiration has been taken from the excellent capabilities of psql, the default query tool of PostgreSQL. Output can be as a reStructuredText-table or with unicode line characters. Field and record splitting, the facilities of awk are enabled.
- -h|--help
- display usage info
- -s|--style
- Select a table formatting style. Currently available are md, rst, jira, and psql (default).
| --rst | Short for --style rst |
| --psql | Short for --style psql |
| --md | Short for --style md |
| --jira | Short for --style jira |
- -F|--field-separator
- Equivalent to
awk. Set the field separator. Default is[ \t\n]+. Example:-F,separates on comma's. - -R|--record-separator
- Set the record separator for input files.
- -H|--no-header
- Do not consider the first line of input as the table header.
- -T|--title
- Set a title. This string will be centered along the width of the whole table. (Not supported for markdown and jira)
- -d|--debug
- Output debugging info.
| --left-margin | Prepend the resulting table with an arbitrary string. Handy for outlining. |
table depends on the gawk version 4 or newer, and the command line option processing library ngetopt.awk, available from https://github.com/joepvd/ngetopt.awk.
