T2t

text to table translator

t2t is a Perl script that converts standard ASCII text to HTML 4.0 tables. Any text with the delimiter embedded in it is converted to a table. The user can specify any regular Perl expression as a delimiter; the default delimiter is the tab. As a result, t2t can easily transform any spreadsheet saved as tab delimited text to a HTML table. The table ends with either the end of the file or the first line of non-delimited text. All other text is just written to the output file.

• Works on Unix, Windows, and MacOSX.
• Completely customizable
• Process a whole directory (and all of its subdirectories) with one command
• Convert any delimited file to a HTML source file with a table
• Handle multiple input "tables" in one text file
• Read from stdin and write to stdout
• Skip a field (do not translate the field to the resulting table)
• Produce a complete HTML source file or only the table portion
• Color the cells (separate colors for the header and the data cells)
• Produce a table displayed as a ledger.
