tabcat

Convert data in CSV format into a neat table.

Usage

Suppose you have data in CSV format, such as this:

numbers,a,words
1,b,thing
40,c,sea
66,d,car
1024,e,ultralongword

Using tabcat you can arrange it in a nice table. The program expects the data either on standard input (stdin) or in a file. To pass the data to tabcat, you can use these commands for example:

$ cat data.csv
numbers,a,words
1,b,thing
40,c,sea
66,d,car
1024,e,ultralongword

$ tabcat data.csv
┌─────────┬───┬───────────────┐
