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. |
