Ar x +.Oo Cm kKgGw Oc Ns Op Ar N +.Cm tTeEnyjhHmz +.Oc +.Op Ar rows Op Ar cols +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +utility reads the standard input, interpreting each line as a row +of blank-separated entries in an array, +transforms the array according to the options, +and writes it on the standard output. +With no arguments it transforms stream input into a columnar +format convenient for terminal viewing. +.Pp +The shape of the input array is deduced from the number of lines +and the number of columns on the first line. +If that shape is inconvenient, a more useful one might be +obtained by skipping some of the input with the +.Fl k +option. +Other options control interpretation of the input columns. +.Pp +The shape of the output array is influenced by the +.Ar rows +and +.Ar cols +specifications, which should be positive integers. +If only one of them is a positive integer, +.Nm +computes a value for the other which will accommodate +all of the data. +When necessary, missing data are supplied in a manner +specified by the options and surplus data are deleted. +There are options to control presentation of the output columns, +including transposition of the rows and columns. +.Pp +The following options are available: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Fl c Ns Ar x +Input columns are delimited by the single character +.Ar x . +A missing +.Ar x +is taken to be `^I'. +.It Fl s Ns Ar x +Like +.Fl c , +but maximal strings of +.Ar x +are delimiters. +.It Fl C Ns Ar x +Output columns are delimited by the single character +.Ar x . +A missing +.Ar x +is taken to be `^I'. +.It Fl S Ns Ar x +Like +.Fl C , +but padded strings of +.Ar x +are delimiters. +.It Fl t +Fill in the rows of the output array using the columns of the +input array, that is, transpose the input while honoring any +.Ar rows +and +.Ar cols +specifications. +.It Fl T +Print the pure transpose of the input, ignoring any +.Ar rows +or +.Ar cols +specification. +.It Fl k Ns Ar N +Ignore the first +.Ar N +lines of input. +.It Fl K Ns Ar N +Like +.Fl k , +but print the ignored lines. +.It Fl g Ns Ar N +The gutter width (inter-column space), normally 2, is taken to be +.Ar N . +.It Fl G Ns Ar N +The gutter width has +.Ar N +percent of the maximum column width added to it. +.It Fl e +Consider each line of input as an array entry. +.It Fl n +On lines having fewer entries than the first line, +use null entries to pad out the line. +Normally, missing entries are taken from the next line of input. +.It Fl y +If there are too few entries to make up the output dimensions, +pad the output by recycling the input from the beginning. +Normally, the output is padded with blanks. +.It Fl h +Print the shape of the input array and do nothing else. +The shape is just the number of lines and the number of +entries on the first line. +.It Fl H +Like +.Fl h , +but also print the length of each line. +.It Fl j +Right adjust entries within columns. +.It Fl w Ns Ar N +The width of the display, normally 80, is taken to be the positive +integer +.Ar N . +.It Fl m +Do not trim excess delimiters from the ends of the output array. +.It Fl z +Adapt column widths to fit the largest entries appearing in them. +.El +.Pp +With no arguments, +.Nm +transposes its input, and assumes one array entry per input line +unless the first non-ignored line is longer than the display width. +Option letters which take numerical arguments interpret a missing +number as zero unless otherwise indicated. +.Sh EXAMPLES +The +.Nm +utility can be used as a filter to convert the stream output +of certain programs (e.g., +.Xr spell 1 , +.Xr du 1 , +.Xr file 1 , +.Xr look 1 , +.Xr nm 1 , +.Xr who 1 , +and +.Xr wc 1 ) +into a convenient ``window'' format, as in +.Bd -literal -offset indent +% who | rs +.Ed +.Pp +This function has been incorporated into the +.Xr ls 1 +program, though for most programs with similar output +.Nm +suffices. +.Pp +To convert stream input into vector output and back again, use +.Bd -literal -offset indent +% rs 1 0 | rs 0 1 +.Ed +.Pp +A 10 by 10 array of random numbers from 1 to 100 and +its transpose can be generated with +.Bd -literal -offset indent +% jot \-r 100 | rs 10 10 | tee array | rs \-T > tarray +.Ed +.Pp +In the editor +.Xr vi 1 , +a file consisting of a multi-line vector with 9 elements per line +can undergo insertions and deletions, +and then be neatly reshaped into 9 columns with +.Bd -literal -offset indent +:1,$!rs 0 9 +.Ed +.Pp +Finally, to sort a database by the first line of each 4-line field, try +.Bd -literal -offset indent +% rs \-eC 0 4 | sort | rs \-c 0 1 +.Ed +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr jot 1 , +.Xr pr 1 , +.Xr sort 1 , +.Xr vi 1 +.Sh BUGS +.Bl -item +.It +Handles only two dimensional arrays. +.It +The algorithm currently reads the whole file into memory, +so files that do not fit in memory will not be reshaped. +.It +Fields cannot be defined yet on character positions. +.It +Re-ordering of columns is not yet possible. +.It +There are too many options. +.It +Multibyte characters are not recognized. +.El |
