A Sublime Text 3 Plugin which rearranges columns of text to meet you needs.
See below demonstration.
This plugin has only one shortcut Ctrl + Shift + ~.
Let's say we have some a csv file with the following content.
20180315225757.png,.png,67445
20180624001029.jpg,.jpg,307811
Edde.png,.png,10490
email address.png,.png,48782
We want to arrange the text to this:
<li><span class="filename">20180315225757.png</span><span class="extension">.png</span><span class="length">67445</span></li>
<li><span class="filename">20180624001029.jpg</span><span class="extension">.jpg</span><span class="length">307811</span></li>
<li><span class="filename">Edde.png</span><span class="extension">.png</span><span class="length">10490</span></li>
<li><span class="filename">email address.png</span><span class="extension">.png</span><span class="length">48782</span></li>
First we select the lines:
Then we press Ctrl + Shift + ~ to invoke ColumnMassage command.
Now we create a rule to tell the plugin how to manipulate the text.
Press Enter and we are done.
In the above example, we use the rule ,|||((|||))|||<li><span class="filename">((1))</span><span class="extension">((2))</span><span class="length">((3))</span></li>.
Here ||| is the rule delimiter and we should not change it. So the rule was separated into 4 parts.
,This is the text column delimiter and will be converted into a Python regular expression. In the above example we are using csv syntax, so we specify,as the delimiter. Common column delimiters are\t+,\s{2,},\s+etc.((This is the text that denotes the left side of a column template. See below.))This is the text that denotes the right side of a column template. See below.<li><span class="filename">((1))</span><span class="extension">((2))</span><span class="length">((3))</span></li>This part is the actual rule. You can use column templates in it. A column template looks like<left_string><column_number><right_string>. In our example,<left_string>is((and<right_string>is)). Except the column templates, other parts of the rule will be inserted literally without any change.
