copied!<p>The <a href="https://github.com/cldwalker/hirb" rel="nofollow">Hirb</a> gem can be a good starting point for you. It's usually associated with IRB or Rail's console use, but there's nothing that says we can't subvert it for other uses.</p> <p>Normally it wants to wrap the table created with ASCII borders:</p> <pre> +--------------------+-----------------------------+------------+ | user_name | name | num_logins | +--------------------+-----------------------------+------------+ | email_1@yahoo.com | Beachwood | 2 | | email_2@yahoo.com | Beachwood | 2 | | email_3@yahoo.com | Beachwood | 2 | | email_4@yahoo.com | Beachwood | 2 | | email_55@yahoo.com | Community Internal Medicine | 6 | +--------------------+-----------------------------+------------+ </pre> <p>But, by applying a bit of <code>gsub</code> lovin' we can dress it up like you want:</p> <pre><code>values = [ [ 'user_name', 'name', 'num_logins' ], [ 'email_1@yahoo.com', 'Beachwood', '2' ], [ 'email_2@yahoo.com', 'Beachwood', '2' ], [ 'email_3@yahoo.com', 'Beachwood', '2' ], [ 'email_4@yahoo.com', 'Beachwood', '2' ], [ 'email_55@yahoo.com', 'Community Internal Medicine', '6' ], ] puts Hirb::Helpers::AutoTable.render( values, :headers => values.shift, :description => false ).gsub(/^[+-]+\n?/, '').gsub('|', ' ') </code></pre> <p>Which looks like:</p> <pre> user_name name num_logins email_1@yahoo.com Beachwood 2 email_2@yahoo.com Beachwood 2 email_3@yahoo.com Beachwood 2 email_4@yahoo.com Beachwood 2 email_55@yahoo.com Community Internal Medicine 6 </pre> <p>You might want to pop off the header line of the array before passing it to Hirb, or supply it from a separate array. Change the <code>:headers</code> option if so.</p>
