cli-tables 0.0.1

Create pretty looking ascii tables

cli_tables

Create a pretty looking ascii table.

Usage (command line):

python cli_tables.py [options] < input_file.txt

Where input_file.txt contains your input separated by (any amount of) tabs or 4/8/.. spaces and new-line characters and the output table is printed on the terminal.

Usage (gui):

python gui.py

Example:

Input:

Col 1	Col 2	Col 3	Col 4
Val1	Val2	Val3	Val4
Val11	Val22	Val33	Val44
Vala	Valb	Valc	Vald

Output (-h option):

+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | Col 4 |
+=======+=======+=======+=======+
| Val1  | Val2  | Val3  | Val4  |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Val11 | Val22 | Val33 | Val44 |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Vala  | Valb  | Valc  | Vald  |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+

The input in the command line execution can have an arbitrary amount of tabs separating the values. For example either one of the following inputs will output the same result:

Inputs:

input_size	algorithmA	algorithmB	algorithmC	algorithmD
1	206.4 sec.	206.4 sec.	0.02 sec.	0.02 sec.
4	900 sec.	431.1 sec.	0.08 sec.	0.062 sec.
250	-	80 min.	2.27 sec.	1.305 sec.
1000	-	-	8.77 sec.	4.086 sec.
5000	-	-	33.53 sec.	16.80 sec.
10000	-	-	85.4 sec.	47.18 sec.
