Simple Python Script to turn a CSV into an ASCII table
It takes a CSV such as addresses.csv [Thanks FSU]
First,Last,Street,City,State,ZIP
John,Doe,120 jefferson st.,Riverside, NJ, 08075
Jack,McGinnis,220 hobo Av.,Phila, PA,09119
"John ""Da Man""",Repici,120 Jefferson St.,Riverside, NJ,08075
Stephen,Tyler,"7452 Terrace ""At the Plaza"" road",SomeTown,SD, 91234
,Blankman,,SomeTown, SD, 00298
"Joan ""the bone"", Anne",Jet,"9th, at Terrace plc",Desert City,CO,00123
And then we run: python.exe tablemaker.py addresses.csv, and then we get:
+-----------------------+----------+----------------------------------+-------------+-------+--------+
| First | Last | Street | City | State | ZIP |
+-----------------------+----------+----------------------------------+-------------+-------+--------+
