# column
|
|
|
|
> Format standard input or file into multiple columns.
|
|
> Rows are filled before columns; default separator is whitespace.
|

|
- Format output for a 30 characters wide display:
|
|
|
|
`printf "header1 header2\nbar foo\n" | column -c {{30}}`
|
|
|
|
- Specify column delimiter character for the -t option (i.e. "," for csv); default is whitespace:
|
|
|
|
`printf "header1,header2\nbar,foo\n" | column -s{{,}}`
|
|
|
|
- Split columns automatically and auto-align in a tabular format:
|
|
|
|
`printf "header1 header2\nbar foo\n" | column -t`
|
|
|
|
- Fill columns before filling rows:
|
|
|
|
`printf "header1\nbar\nfoobar\n" | column -c {{30}} -x`
