Table DAT
- Invalid title: ""
Summary[edit]
The Table DAT lets you hand-edit or create a table of rows and columns of cells, each cell containing a text string. A "table" is one of the two forms of DATs (the other being simply lines of "free-form" text via the Text DAT).
In the Table DAT's viewer you can add rows and columns and type text into any cell of its node viewer. When a Table DAT has its Viewer Active on, right-mouse click on a cell to modify the table's structure, use the <Tab> key to jump to the next cell, and the up/down arrow keys to navigate to adjacent cells.
You can also put strings into table cells using something like op('table1')[2,'select'] = 'yes', or append rows using .appendRow() in python. See also the Script DAT.
The Table DAT can also can load a table from a .txt or .dat file on disk or on the web. Use http:// when specifying a table on the internet. The text will be converted into tab-delimited tables.
