demangling text columns
I asked an earlier question about e-links, let me ask it another way:
Say I have a text file like:
a a a a a a
a a a a a a b b b b b c c c c
a a a b b b b c c c c
----------- b b b b b
d d d d b b b b b | e e e e e
d d d d b b b b b |
d d d d b b b
b b b b b
Where letters represent text flow and I want to turn them into:
a a a a a a ..
b b b b b b b b b b ...
c c c c c ...
d d d d d ...
e e e e e ...
linear text flows. I want to do the opposite of par or fmt.
Are there tools for that?
