read/write collection of formatted UTF-8 string items
lineup is a Rust library and cross-platform command-line tool for reading and writing a list of UTF-8 strings according to specified input and output formats (separator, padding, anchor, etc.)
$ echo -n 'hi,here,hey' | lineup --in-separator=',' --out-span=4 --out-pad='_' --out-anchor=right --out-line-n=1 --out-line-separator='
> '; echo
__hi
here
_hey

read/write collection of formatted UTF-8 string items
Usage: lineup [OPTIONS]
Options:
--in-separator <IN_SEPARATOR>
IN FORMAT: input item separator, possible values:
N: N is fixed number of bytes per item, no explicit item separator; NOTE N must be > 0 and boundary of a UTF-8 code point for each item
SEP: SEP is a string used to separate items; SEP cannot start with a digit
[default: ,]
--in-line-n <IN_LINE_N>
IN format, line: number of items per line; if 0 provided all items are on a single line
[default: 0]
--in-line-separator <IN_LINE_SEPARATOR>
IN format, line: separator string between lines
[default: ]
--out-span <OUT_SPAN>
OUT format, span: max characters an item would need; shorter representations would be padded with 'pad' and anchored according to 'anchor'; if 0, items will not be padded so 'pad' and 'anchor' are not used
[default: 0]
--out-pad <OUT_PAD>
OUT format, span: pad character (see 'span')
[default: " "]
--out-anchor <OUT_ANCHOR>
OUT format, span: anchor items to the left or right when padding is needed (see 'span')
[default: left]
[possible values: right, left]
--out-separator <OUT_SEPARATOR>
OUT format: separator string for items within a line
[default: " "]
--out-line-n <OUT_LINE_N>
OUT format, line: number of items per line; if 0 provided put all items on a single line
[default: 0]
--out-line-separator <OUT_LINE_SEPARATOR>
OUT format, line: separator string between lines
[default: ]
