.>> .TH tabo(1) TDH "19-SEP-2003 TDH scg@jax.org" .SH NAME tabo(1) \- nice display of tabular data file .ig >> .>> .SH SYNOPSIS \fCtabo [\fIoptions\fC] \fIdatafile\fR .ig >> .>> .SH DESCRIPTION Display tabular data nicely. The \fBtabo\fR utility takes a tabular data file, makes a pass through it to measure field lengths, then displays the data so that fields (columns) are aligned. Result is written to standard output. .ig >> .>> .SH OPTIONS .LP \fB-l\fR .IP \0 Display rulings under the first line (assumed to be a header line), and any replicated header lines. .ig >> .>> .LP \fB-r\fR .IP \0 Assume that the first non-comment line in the file is a header line, and replicate it every 30 lines (preceded by a blank line). A "comment line" is any line beginning with two slashes (//). .ig >> .>> .LP \fB-s \fIspacer\fR .IP \0 Write \fIspacer\fR symbol (one or more characters) between fields in addition to the blank padding. .ig >> .>> .LP \fB-t\fR .IP \0 Accept tab-delimited input where fields contain embedded spaces. .ig >> .>> .SH EXAMPLES .nf tabo myfile .ig >> .>> .SH LIMITATIONS \fBtabo\fR does not read the project config file. .LP \fBtabo\fR treats all fields in the same way, i.e. it centers them. This may look strange for numerics. .ig >> |
