# tabulate

Align data in columns using heuristics to find suitable column sizes that

minimize the amount of wasted space. Useful for files like access logs where

some lines have columns that are much larger than than the rest of the lines.

```

$ cat input.txt

aaa bbb ccc

a   b   c

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bb cc

aaaaa b ccccc

aaa bb ccc

aaaa bb cccc

aaa bb ccc

aaa bb ccc

aaaaa b ccccc

aaa bb ccc

aaa bb ccc

aaaaa b ccccc

$ tabulate ...]

          Truncate data that does not fit in a column. Takes an optional list of columns that should be

          truncated. If no LIST is given all columns are truncated

  -c, --compress-cols 

          Number between 0.0 and 1.0 that controls how much columns are compressed. Set to 0 to disable

          column compression, i.e. columns are sized to fit the largest value [default: 1.0]

  -n, --estimate-count 

          Estimate column sizes from the first N lines. The value 0 means all lines [default: 1000]

  -i, --include ...

          Select which columns to include in the output

  -x, --exclude ...

          Select which columns should be excluded from the output. This option takes precedence over

          --include

  -d, --delimiter 

          Use characters of DELIM as column delimiters [default: " \t"]

  -o, --output-delimiter 

          Specify the delimiter to use to separate columns in the output [default: "  "]

  -s, --strict

          Parse columns as strictly being delimited by a single delimiter

      --online

          Print lines during column size estimation phase

      --column-info

          Print information about the columns

  -h, --help

          Print help information

  -V, --version

          Print version information

LIST should be a comma-separated list of ranges. Each range should be of one of the following forms:

  N       N'th column, starting at 1

  N-      from N'th column to end of line

  N-M     from N'th to M'th column

  -M      from first to M'th column

```
