I suspect he's looking for a way to display tab separated values, the kind that often show up in transmitted data from a measuring device. I once used an editor like that - Nisus 4 - to display assembly language output and the best I have today is a full fledged spreadsheet. BBEdit is just not capable especially when column 1 consists of text that has a wide range of string lengths. I have been asking for a set of variable width tab stops, like those on a typewriter, with one setting for display of a whole file. The universal answer is "who would ever want that?" or "That's a job for a word processor, not a spreadsheet." I have no need to print or publish. I just need to review data so I can process it with perl or something else. The tab stops could be set with a special line at the top of the file. But I'm stuck on 10.3.9 for other reasons so it really doesn't matter any more. -- --> A fair tax is one that you pay but I don't <-- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
