Provide way to customize divider characters, should be basic ascii

Open bitsofinfo opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

So right now all the dividers are special chars like "╚═══╝". This really needs to be customizable so people can choose to use more basic ascii chars that won't break downstream consumers of log files w/ this data that cannot easily consume UTF8

What character set are these from anyways?

The One True Character Set™ that is UTF-8. Not sure why you'd use anything else nowadays.

Not my choice, downstream consumers of logs from an application that generates this output can't handle those chars, need an option to format it differently then the hard-coded defaults currently in place.

@bitsofinfo If you're still looking for a way to print basic ASCII tables, try ASCIITable. It worked for my simple use case when I found Flip Tables doesn't support non-Unicode borders.
