# tabulate
Tabulate is a command-line tool to convert record type data (e.g. CSV files)
into a pretty printed table.

## Usage
An easy example is to tabulate your `/etc/passwd` file. Here are the first 10
non-comment lines from my `/etc/passwd` file.
```console
$ grep -v ^# /etc/passwd |head
nobody:*:-2:-2:Unprivileged User:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false
root:*:0:0:System Administrator:/var/root:/bin/sh
daemon:*:1:1:System Services:/var/root:/usr/bin/false
_uucp:*:4:4:Unix to Unix Copy Protocol:/var/spool/uucp:/usr/sbin/uucico
_taskgated:*:13:13:Task Gate Daemon:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false
_networkd:*:24:24:Network Services:/var/networkd:/usr/bin/false
_installassistant:*:25:25:Install Assistant:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false
_lp:*:26:26:Printing Services:/var/spool/cups:/usr/bin/false
_postfix:*:27:27:Postfix Mail Server:/var/spool/postfix:/usr/bin/false
_scsd:*:31:31:Service Configuration Service:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false
```
And again run through tabulate.
```console
$ grep -v ^# /etc/passwd |head |go run tabulate.go -I :
nobody * -2 -2 Unprivileged User /var/empty /usr/bin/false
root * 0 0 System Administrator /var/root /bin/sh
daemon * 1 1 System Services /var/root /usr/bin/false
_uucp * 4 4 Unix to Unix Copy Protocol /var/spool/uucp /usr/sbin/uucico
_taskgated * 13 13 Task Gate Daemon /var/empty /usr/bin/false
_networkd * 24 24 Network Services /var/networkd /usr/bin/false
_installassistant * 25 25 Install Assistant /var/empty /usr/bin/false
_lp * 26 26 Printing Services /var/spool/cups /usr/bin/false
_postfix * 27 27 Postfix Mail Server /var/spool/postfix /usr/bin/false
_scsd * 31 31 Service Configuration Service /var/empty /usr/bin/false
```
And again rendered using the `mysql` renderer.
```
$ grep -v ^# /etc/passwd |head |go run tabulate.go -I : -r mysql

You can of course build tabulate into a binary, and place it into your favorite
binary location.
```console
$ go build tabulate.go
$ mv tabulate ${HOME}/bin
```
To get a full list of options, request `--help`.
```console
$ go run tabulate.go --help
