Description
This PR adds the ability to manually combine columns in the
detect columns
command. This is useful when items are close together but want them to be in one column.For example, if you want to parse the output of bash's
ls
command, the output passed intodetect columns
would look similar to this.Running it through
detect columns
is helpful but notice how the Month, Day, and Time are in their own columns.Now you can add
--combine-columns <range>
and get something like this.Then you can fancy-it-up by tweaking the other columns and renaming columns.
