一个能够生成 Markdown 表格的 Bash 脚本

哈喽大家好，我是咸鱼。

今天分享一个很实用的 bash 脚本，可以通过手动提供单元格内容和列数或者将带有分隔符的文件（如 CSV、TSV 文件）转换为 Markdown 表格。

源代码在文末哦！原文链接：https://josh.fail/2022/pure-bash-markdown-table-generator/

具体功能：

手动生成表格：允许用户输入表格内容和列数，生成标准的 Markdown 格式表格。
文件转换：可以将 CSV 或 TSV 文件转换为 Markdown 表格。
选项支持：支持指定列数、设置分隔符、解析 CSV/TSV 文件等选项。

主要选项：

-COLUMNS：设置生成表格的列数。
-sSEPARATOR：自定义输入文件的列分隔符。
--csv 和 --tsv：分别用于解析 CSV 和 TSV 文件。

几个月前，我想要一个便携式的 Markdown 表格生成器，于是写了这个 markdown-table 脚本。

一开始我只是想传入一堆参数和列数，并让它生成相应的 Markdown 表格。就像下面的例子：

bash 复制代码

markdown-table -4 \
 "Heading 1"  "Heading 2" "Heading 3" "Heading 4" \
 "Hi"         "There"     "From"      "Markdown\!" \
 "Everything" "Is"        "So"        "Nicely Aligned\!"

当我实现了这一功能后，我意识到还可以添加支持解析带有自定义分隔符的文件，比如 CSV 或 TSV。

bash 复制代码

markdown-table --tsv < test.tsv

上面两种方法都会生成一个 Markdown 表格：

bash 复制代码

| Heading 1  | Heading 2 | Heading 3 | Heading 4      |
| ---------- | --------- | --------- | -------------- |
| Hi         | There     | From      | Markdown       |
| Everything | Is        | So        | Nicely Aligned |

bash 复制代码

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Usage: markdown-table -COLUMNS [CELLS]
#        markdown-table -sSEPARATOR < file
#
# NAME
#   markdown-table -- generate markdown tables
#
# SYNOPSIS
#   markdown-table -COLUMNS [CELLS]
#   markdown-table -sSEPARATOR < file
#
# DESCRIPTION
#   markdown-table helps generate markdown tables. Manually supply arguments
#   and a column count to generate a table, or pass in a delimited file to
#   convert to a table.
#
# OPTIONS
#   -COLUMNS
#       Number of columns to include in output.
#
#   -sSEPARATOR
#       String used to separate columns in input files.
#
#   --csv
#       Shortcut for `-s,` to parse CSV files. Note that this is a "dumb" CSV
#       parser -- it won't work if your cells contain commas!
#
#   --tsv
#       Shortcut for `-s$'\t'` to parse TSV files.
#
#   -h, --help
#       Prints help text and exits.
#
# EXAMPLES
#   Build a 4 column markdown table from arguments:
#     markdown-table -4 \
#       "Heading 1"  "Heading 2" "Heading 3" "Heading 4" \
#       "Hi"         "There"     "From"      "Markdown!" \
#       "Everything" "Is"        "So"        "Nicely Aligned!"
#
#   Convert a CSV file into a markdown table:
#     markdown-table -s, < some.csv
#     markdown-table --csv < some.csv
#
#   Convert a TSV file into a markdown table:
#     markdown-table -s$'\t' < test.tsv
#     markdown-table --tsv < test.tsv
