Does anyone know of a quick way to nicely format data into columns?
I don't believe there is a native method any longer (used to a
be a plugin for it ages ago). But `column` command could be used
in a filter.
Create a new file with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
column -t
Save the file in BBEdit's 'Text Filters' folder and then run the
filter on your file.
Eg. using your sample data, it outputs:
Fruit Colour Amount
Apple Green 2
Apple Red 31
Grapefruit Pink 1
Or if you really want the entable script; I found it here (my
copy is 7 years old, so grab the latest):
