ShowTable.pm is a Perl 5 module which defines subroutines to print
|
|
arrays of data in a nicely formatted listing, using one of four
|
|
possible formats: simple table, boxed table, list style, and
|
|
HTML-formatting (for World-Wide-Web output). See the documentation
|
|
on ShowTable.pm for details on the formatting.
|
|
|
|
The program "showtable" reads data in a variety of formats from a
|
|
file or STDIN, optimally columnizes the data, and then feeds the
|
|
array of data to the ShowTable module for display. Showtable can
|
|
parse its own output as input (except for HTML). Individual or
|
|
ranges of columns may be selected for display, either by name or
|
|
by index.
|
|
|
|
In other words, showtable is a data formatting program. Using the
|
|
'-html' option, showtable can accept ASCII tabular data and format
|
|
it appropriately for display through a Web-browser.
