BBEdit and TextWrangler represent open documents as Unicode, which uses two
bytes for each character. Combined with an internal Mac OS X limitation, this
means that you can open files up to 384
Assuming the OP meant, by ASCII table, a flow of text that will appear in a
BBEedit window as a table the real answer is no way.
It might be possible to demand a constant width font and add space characters
to make such a file appear as a table of sorts but editing the contents would
