NAME
psc - prepare sc files
SYNOPSIS
psc [ -fLkrSPv ] [ -s cell ] [ -R n ] [ -C n ] [ -n n ] [ -d
c ]
DESCRIPTION
Psc is used to prepare data for input to the spread sheet
calculator sc(1). It accepts normal ascii data on standard
input. Standard output is a sc file. With no options, psc
starts the spread sheet in cell A0. Strings are right
justified. All data on a line is entered on the same row;
new input lines cause the output row number to increment by
one. The default delimiters are tab and space. The column
formats are set to one larger than the number of columns
required to hold the largest value in the column.
Options:
-f Omit column width calculations. This option is for
preparing data to be merged with an existing
spreadsheet. If the option is not specified, the
column widths calculated for the data read by psc will
override those already set in the existing spreadsheet.
-L Left justify strings.
-k Keep all delimiters. This option causes the output
cell to change on each new delimiter encountered in the
input stream. The default action is to condense
multiple delimters to one, so that the cell only
changes once per input data item.
-r Output the data by row first then column. For input
consisting of a single column, this option will result
in output of one row with multiple columns instead of a
single column spread sheet.
-s cell
Start the top left corner of the spread sheet in cell.
For example, -s B33 will arrange the output data so
that the spread sheet starts in column B, row 33.
-R n Increment by n on each new output row.

-C n Increment by n on each new output column.
-n n Output n rows before advancing to the next column.
This option is used when the input is arranged in a
single column and the spread sheet is to have multiple
columns, each of which is to be length n.
-d c Use the single character c as the delimiter between
input fields.
-P Plain numbers only. A field is a number only when
there is no imbeded [-+eE].
-S All numbers are strings.
-v Print the version of psc
