perl-vim-table

Toby Thurston -- 02 Jun 2017

A perl filter that parses text and lines things up in columns.

Intended to be used as a filter for vim.

Installation

Copy table.pl to a convenient folder, or try:

  git clone https://github.com/thruston/perl-vim-table.git

Add these perl libraries (unless you already have them):

  cpanm Statistics::Descriptive
  cpanm Math::Prime::Util  
  cpanm Math::SigFigs
  cpanm Math::Round

Add a line like the following to your ".vimrc" file.
```
  :command! -nargs=* -range=% Table <line1>,<line2>!perl ~/your-folder/table.pl <q-args>
```
which you should adjust appropriately so your perl can find where you put table.pl.

You can of course use some word other than "Table" as the command name. Take your pick, except that Vim insists on the name starting with an uppercase letter.

    perldoc table.pl
