Kurt,
Try this:
$<
lines = $GEDIT_SELECTED_TEXT.split("\n");
output = '<table\>\n';
for line in lines:
output += '<tr\>';
columns = line.split("\t");
if len(columns)==1:
output += '<tr\><td colspan="3"\>', line, '</td\></tr\>'
else:
for item in columns:
output += '<td\>' + item + '</td\> '
output += '</tr\>\n';
output += '</table\>';
return output
>
----------------
All I have done is to
If there is one item in the tab-separated line :
print the line as a row spanning 3 columns
else:
print the items in the line as an item in each column
----------------
I have not tried this snippet in Gedit - so use with caution.
----------------
good luck,
Subimal Deb
