How to format a txt file using typeset?
Hi all,
i have a file toto.txt :
blabla;toumtoudoum;blablabla
toumtoudoumtoudoum;blabla;popopopo
blablabla;etcetcetc;blabla
etc....
As you can see, it is a simple file containig 3 fields separated by a ";".
What i want to do is to display this file with a nice formating (by columns) :
blabla.............................toumtoudoum.......................blablabla
toumtoudoumtoudoum........blabla................................popopopo
blablabla.........................etcetcetc..............................blabla
etc....
(without using "....."
)
After a few searchs, i found that using "typeset" would be useful...but i don't know really how
any ideas?
thx
Cheers,
Howard

odidx
ODIDX(1) Quick Database Manager ODIDX(1) NAME
odidx - indexer of document files SYNOPSIS
odidx register [-l file] [-wmax num] [-tsuf sufs] [-hsuf sufs] name[dir] odidx relate name odidx purge name DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the odidx commands. The command odidx is a utility for indexing files on the local file system. This command is useful for a full-text search system of a Web site. Supported file format are plain text and HTML. Supported character encoding are US-ASCII and ISO-8859-1. The URI of each document is specified with the path of its file. Attributes named as title and date are given to each documents. When a document is already existing in the database, it is registered if its last modification time is newer, or it is ignored. Modification times are stored in the sub database `_mtime' in the main database directory. Score information are stored in the sub database `_score' in the main database directory. This command is used in the above format. name specifies a database name. dir specifies a directory name. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#odeumcli. -l file read a file and get list of paths of files to register. If `-' is specified, the standard input is read. -wmax num specify the max number of words to be stored in the document database. -tsuf sufs specify suffixes of plain text files in comma separated format. The default is `-tsuf .txt,.text'. -hsuf sufs specify suffixes of HTML files in comma separated format. The default is `-hsuf .html,.htm'. EXAMPLES
For example, to register files which are under `/home/mikio' and whose suffix are `.txt', `.c', or `.h', perform the following command. odidx register -tsuf ".txt,.c,.h" -hsuf "" casket /home/mikio Thus, to retrieve documents which include `unix' and `posix' and show the top 8 terms, perform the following command. odmgr search -max 8 -h casket "unix posix" SEE ALSO
