I enter a lot of tables as C-language comments. I use vertical bars and soUltraedit has a great collum mode (alt-c to toggle between collum and
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.

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
