ttable-rs

A standalone table formatter to view tabular data in console.

Motivation

ttable is inspired by the excellent Python based tabular viewer tabview. ttable implemented the basic function which can read stdin and format it into stdout with formatted table. This small program is useful if you just need a tabular data formatter and do not want to install other prerequisites such as Conda.

Current version is a basic wrapper of prettytable-rs.

Installation

You just need to download the binary file to your system and make it executable by using chmod a+x ttable
