The command to format CSV tables works similarly to [formatting markdown][formarkdown].
|
|
|
|
Put this in your `~/.vimrc` and use `Control + s` after highlighting a cs
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
vmap <C-s> :!column -ts, -o " \| "<Enter>yyp:s/[^\|:]/-/g<Enter>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Read a CSV file into Vim:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
r ${file}.csv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Select the csv output:
|
|
|
|
```csv
|
|
Transaction Date,Transaction Type,Transaction Description,Debit Amount,Credit Amount
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
```
|
|
