Re: Text Editor that Does Tables?

On 27 Jun., 18:40, "David T. Ashley" <d...@e3ft.comwrote:
I enter a lot of tables as C-language comments. I use vertical bars and so
on to separate columns.

A typical table might be a Boolean function, or a list of I/O pins and how
they are assigned. 2-100 rows is typical, and 2-5 columns is typical.

Widening columns is a huge headache, as I have to do every row of the table
(sometimes hundreds of lines). I use a SlickEdit macro repeatedly, but even
then it is a huge job.

Is there a text editor out there (or a feature of SlickEdit I'm unaware of)
that supports ASCII tables directly?

Thanks.

Ultraedit has a great collum mode (alt-c to toggle between collum and
normal mode)
it can do what I think you want.

it hard to explain how it works but,
try to mark a collum of text, and then cut and paste or type
something, you will see how it works
