Make Tables

A Web Interface to the Text::ASCIITable Perl module
CSV version, bitches!

Updates:

4/18/04
Script was started on Feb. 19 but not released till mid-April.
6/16/05
Cleaned up the code. A good reason to use comments is that I spent 3 hours cleaning up and debugging an 80 line program written over a year ago.

Added column widths option. Looks ugly!

Instructions for use:

Write your table in Microsoft Excel. Save it in CSV format, then close and open it again (in CSV format) to make sure everything's right.
Open your CSV file in Notepad. Copy and paste its contents.
Paste your file AS IS into the large text box below.
Input your various settings.
Submit it.
Copy and paste your output table into your guide (if you like it that is)

It only seems right that a script that makes tables should use tables for layout instead of CSS...

"test,",this """program""",now

Note: there is no official standard for CSV files, but this is what the program expects:

cells are separated by commas
rows are separated by the newline character (CR/LF)
if there is a comma within cell data, the cell must be in double quotes-- (",")
if there are double quotes within cell data, the double quotes must be doubled ("") and the cell itself must be in double quotes
