almost :) i'm looking to guess the field types. for example, at the
cmd line i can use a quick and dirty helper like this:
-table myTable fields=id,name,value
this displays a nice ascii table but, the fields are comma delimited
so if the returned field is a list (also comma delimited), the table
isn't very pretty anymore (because it separates the field items with
commas :))
so if I can get the script to guess the field type, i can replace the
comma with a line break (which would just extend the table field in
height)
thanks,
Mart :)
