Hi.

From a perl script, align:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate text column vertical alignment, align.
# For align source, see:
# http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/align/

# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
LC_ALL=C ; LANG=C ; export LC_ALL LANG
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C align

FILE=${1-data1}

pl " Input data file $FILE:"
cat $FILE

pl " Results:"
align $FILE

exit 0

producing:
Code:
$ ./s1

Environment: LC_ALL = C, LANG = C
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 3.16.0-4-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian 8.3 (jessie) 
bash GNU bash 4.3.30
align 1.7.0

-----
 Input data file data1:
THEN ( Thu Jan 28 = Hour[02] = 27924 )          =>          NOW ( Thu Feb 04 = Hour[02] = 27018 )         =>         Reduced By:         -3.24452
THEN ( Thu Jan 28 = Hour[03] = 8663 )          =>          NOW ( Thu Feb 04 = Hour[03] = 7396 )         =>         Reduced By:         -14.6254

-----
 Results:
THEN ( Thu Jan 28 = Hour[02] = 27924 ) => NOW ( Thu Feb 04 = Hour[02] = 27018 ) => Reduced By: -3.24452
THEN ( Thu Jan 28 = Hour[03] =  8663 ) => NOW ( Thu Feb 04 = Hour[03] =  7396 ) => Reduced By:-14.6254

Automatically detects type of data, aligns accordingly.

ICONV_MIME_DECODE_HEADERS(3)						 1					      ICONV_MIME_DECODE_HEADERS(3)

iconv_mime_decode_headers - Decodes multiple MIMEheader fields at once

SYNOPSIS
array iconv_mime_decode_headers (string $encoded_headers, [int $mode], [string $charset = ini_get("iconv.internal_encoding")]) DESCRIPTION
Decodes multiple MIME header fields at once. PARAMETERS
o $encoded_headers - The encoded headers, as a string. o $mode -$mode determines the behaviour in the event iconv_mime_decode_headers(3) encounters a malformed MIME header field. You can spec- ify any combination of the following bitmasks. Bitmasks acceptable to iconv_mime_decode_headers(3) +------+--------------------------------------+---+ |Value | | | | | | | | | Constant | | | | | | | | Description | | | | | | +------+--------------------------------------+---+ | 1 | | | | | | | | | ICONV_MIME_DECODE_STRICT | | | | | | | | If set, the given header is decoded | | | | in full conformance with the stan- | | | | dards defined in RFC2047. This | | | | option is disabled by default | | | | because there are a lot of broken | | | | mail user agents that don't follow | | | | the specification and don't produce | | | | correct MIME headers. | | | | | | | 2 | | | | | | | | | ICONV_MIME_DECODE_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR | | | | | | | | If set, iconv_mime_decode_head- | | | | ers(3) attempts to ignore any gram- | | | | matical errors and continue to | | | | process a given header. | | | | | | +------+--------------------------------------+---+ o $charset - The optional $charset parameter specifies the character set to represent the result by. If omitted, iconv.internal_encoding will be used. RETURN VALUES
Returns an associative array that holds a whole set of MIME header fields specified by $encoded_headers on success, or FALSE if an error occurs during the decoding. Each key of the return value represents an individual field name and the corresponding element represents a field value. If more than one field of the same name are present, iconv_mime_decode_headers(3) automatically incorporates them into a numerically indexed array in the order of occurrence. EXAMPLES
Example #1 iconv_mime_decode_headers(3) example <?php $headers_string = <<<EOF Subject: =?UTF-8?B?UHLDvGZ1bmcgUHLDvGZ1bmc=?= To: example@example.com Date: Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 Message-Id: <example@example.com> Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by localhost with SMTP id example for <example@example.com>; Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from example-return-0000-example=example.com@example.com) Received: (qmail 0 invoked by uid 65534); 1 Thu 2003 00:00:00 +0000 EOF; $headers = iconv_mime_decode_headers($headers_string, 0, "ISO-8859-1"); print_r($headers); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [Subject] => Prufung Prufung [To] => example@example.com [Date] => Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 [Message-Id] => <example@example.com> [Received] => Array ( [0] => from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by localhost with SMTP id example for <example@example.com>; Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from example-return-0000-example=example.com@example.com) [1] => (qmail 0 invoked by uid 65534); 1 Thu 2003 00:00:00 +0000 ) ) SEE ALSO
