85277bbf5e more refactoring, fixed bug in shell mode output, fixed default
Separator and fixed #3
2022-10-05 16:43:51 +02:00
26e50cf908 fix #1: use scanner.Split() instead of splitting by header position
boundaries, since this splitting cuts utf-8 chars which causes
distorted output.

You can reduce the rows being displayed by using a regular expression
pattern. The regexp is PCRE compatible, refer to the syntax cheat
sheet here: L<https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax>. If you want
to read a more comprehensive documentation about the topic and have
perl installed you can read it with:
perldoc perlre
Or read it online: L<https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre>.
A note on modifiers: the regexp engine used in tablizer uses another
modifier syntax:
(?MODIFIER)
The most important modifiers are:
C<i> ignore case
C<m> multiline mode
C<s> single line mode
Example for a case insensitve search:
kubectl get pods -A | tablizer "(?i)account"
