1. tcpclient, yy025 (a program I wrote that generates HTTP), sed, cut, paste, nvi or vim 4.6 if I need to edit, depending on whether I'm using NetBSD or Linux; formatted text is copied and pasted using tmux buffers since I do not use X11 For example program|sed or grep|tmux loadb /dev/stdin where program is a script that outputs a custom ASCII table 2. The UNIX software I'm using works with these characters The idiom I use for inserting the FS character via command line or shell script is x=$(echo x|tr x '\34') For example, echo select \* from t1|sqlite3 -separator $x 0.db > 0.fsv "To import data with arbitrary delimiters and no quoting, first set ascii mode (".mode ascii"), then set the field and record delimiters using the ".separator" command. This will suppress dequoting. Upon ".import", the data will be split into fields and records according to the delimiters so specified."^1 But I use tr. tr '\34' , < 0.fsv > 0.csv If there is a risk that field values might contain the FS character, then I delete or replace that character in the data before I create fields. For example, sed -i "s/$x//g" data sed -i "s/$x/FS/g" data 1. https://sqlite.org/cli.html https://sqlite.org/cli.html
