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 tablular data and format it appropriately
|
||
|
for display through a Web-browser.
