<title>Table diff</title>
<h1>Table diff</h1>

Eskil can compare tables in comma/tab separated text files and display
them like a table.

<verbatim>
eskil -table apa1.csv apa2.csv
</verbatim>

Eskil will try to auto-detect the separator but you can also give it
using -sep. Example for tab separation:

<verbatim>
eskil -table -sep '\t' apa1.csv apa2.csv
</verbatim>

Eskil has a built in plugin, csv, than can preprocess table files. This example clears the "Short" and "Long" columns before comparison:

<verbatim>
eskil -table apa1.csv apa2.csv -block -sep '\t' -plugin csv -csvignore "Short Long"
</verbatim>
