Does this boil down to converting csv to this graphical box format? Do you know in advance how many columns there will be?Jeff Schaller– Jeff Schaller ♦2016-09-19 23:41:35 +00:00Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 23:41

No, I want a general solution, so it will have to determine max value in each column also. I've started to step through a Perl solution using Text::CSV, but I'm surprised a command-line (Perl?) solution hasn't been implemented already.David M. Karr– David M.

as a breadcrumb, take a look at search.cpan.org/~shlomif/Text-Table-1.131/lib/Text/Table.pm and entable.s3.amazonaws.com/index.htmlJeff Schaller– Jeff Schaller ♦2016-09-20 01:13:29 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2016 at 1:13

What do you mean by "as a breadcrumb"? The first looks like exactly what I need, although the the documentation is very hard to understand.David M. Karr– David M. Karr2016-09-20 15:15:58 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2016 at 15:15

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
