- _✓P_✓s_✓s is used to prepare data for input to the spread sheet
- calculator _✓s_✓s_✓(_✓1_✓)_✓. It accepts normal ascii data on stan-
- dard input. Standard output is a _✓s_✓s file. With no
- options, _✓p_✓s_✓s 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 _✓p_✓s_✓s
- 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 con-
- dense 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
- _✓c_✓e_✓l_✓l_✓. For example, _✓-_✓s _✓B_✓3_✓3 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 mul-
- tiple 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.
