tabulate
)Table transformation tools
tabluate
is a swiss army knife for table transforming human readable tables into machine readable data structure.
Please note that this builtin is still in active development and the default behavior will continue to change and evolve. Any features marked with a flag (see below) will be stable, have numerous tests written against them, and thus safe to use.
<stdin> -> tabulate [ flags ] -> <stdout>
--column-wraps
Boolean, used with –map or –key-value to merge trailing lines if the text wraps within the same column--help
Boolean, displays a list of flags--joiner
String, used with –map to concatenate any trailing records in a given field--key-inc-hint
Boolean, used with –map to split any space or equal delimited hints/examples (eg parsing flags)--key-value
Boolean, discard any records that don’t appear key value pairs (auto-enabled when –map used)--map
Boolean, return JSON map instead of table--separator
‘String, custom regex pattern for spliting fields (default: (\t|\s[\s]+)+
)’--split-comma
Boolean, split first field and duplicate the line if comma found in first field (eg parsing flags in help pages)--split-space
Boolean, split first field and duplicate the line if white space found in first field (eg parsing flags in help pages)Because tabulate
is designed to parse human readable tables, it is used a lot for dynamically turning command like program help output into JSON maps for autocomplete
’s DynamicDesc blocks:
rsync --help # print rsync help \
-> ['^Options$'..--help]re # filter out just the flags from the help page \
-> tabulate --map --split-comma --column-wraps --key-inc-hint # convert to json
formap
): Iterate through a map or other collection of data[ Index ]
): Outputs an element from an array, map or table[[ Element ]]
): Outputs an element from a nested structureformat
): Reformat one data-type into another data-typeautocomplete
): Set definitions for tab-completion in the command lineThis document was generated from builtins/core/tabulate/tabulate_doc.yaml.
