text::formattable
Text::FormatTable(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::FormatTable(3pm)NAME
Text::FormatTable - Format text tables
SYNOPSIS
my $table = Text::FormatTable->new('r|l');
$table->head('a', 'b');
$table->rule('=');
$table->row('c', 'd');
print $table->render(20);
DESCRIPTION
Text::FormatTable renders simple tables as text. You pass to the constructor (new) a table format specification similar to LaTeX (e.g.
"r|l|5l|R|20L") and you call methods to fill the table data and insert rules. After the data is filled, you call the render method and the
table gets formatted as text.
Methods:
new($format)
Create a Text::FormatTable object, the format of each column is specified as a character of the $format string. The following formats
are defined:
l Left-justified top aligned word-wrapped text.
L Left-justified bottom aligned word-wrapped text.
r Right-justified top aligned word-wrapped text.
R Right-justified bottom aligned word-wrapped text.
10R, 20r, 15L, 12l,
Number is fixed width of the column. Justified and aligned word-wrapped text (see above).
' ' A space.
| Column separator.
head($col1, $col2, ...)
Add a header row using $col1, $col2, etc. as cell contents. Note that, at the moment, header rows are treated like normal rows.
row($col1, $col2, ...)
Add a row with $col1, $col2, etc. as cell contents.
rule([$char])
Add an horizontal rule. If $char is specified it will be used as character to draw the rule, otherwise '-' will be used.
render([$screen_width])
Return the rendered table formatted with $screen_width or 79 if it is not specified.
