The vim plugin can be used for some cool text manipulation. Say we have some command output we want to make more readable:
~/forks/tektoncd/pipeline/docs
❯ grep -rHin 'weight:'
variables.md:4:weight: 15
taskruns.md:4:weight: 2
labels.md:4:weight: 10
metrics.md:4:weight: 14
pipelineruns.md:4:weight: 4
runs.md:4:weight: 2
resources.md:4:weight: 6
workspaces.md:4:weight: 5
install.md:4:weight: 1
migrating-v1alpha1-to-v1beta1.md:4:weight: 18
deprecations.md:4:weight: 19
auth.md:4:weight: 7
tekton-controller-performance-configuration.md:4:weight: 16
conditions.md:4:weight: 11
podtemplates.md:4:weight: 12
events.md:4:weight: 2
container-contract.md:4:weight: 8
tekton-bundle-contracts.md:4:weight: 8
tasks.md:4:weight: 1
migrating-from-knative-build.md:4:weight: 17
pipelines.md:4:weight: 3
logs.md:4:weight: 9
enabling-ha.md:4:weight: 13
If we put it in a vim buffer, it's as easy as calling:
:Tabularize /:
variables.md : 4 : weight : 15
taskruns.md : 4 : weight : 2
labels.md : 4 : weight : 10
metrics.md : 4 : weight : 14
pipelineruns.md : 4 : weight : 4
runs.md : 4 : weight : 2
resources.md : 4 : weight : 6
workspaces.md : 4 : weight : 5
install.md : 4 : weight : 1
migrating-v1alpha1-to-v1beta1.md : 4 : weight : 18
deprecations.md : 4 : weight : 19
auth.md : 4 : weight : 7
tekton-controller-performance-configuration.md : 4 : weight : 16
conditions.md : 4 : weight : 11
podtemplates.md : 4 : weight : 12
events.md : 4 : weight : 2
container-contract.md : 4 : weight : 8
tekton-bundle-contracts.md : 4 : weight : 8
tasks.md : 4 : weight : 1
migrating-from-knative-build.md : 4 : weight : 17
pipelines.md : 4 : weight : 3
logs.md : 4 : weight : 9
enabling-ha.md : 4 : weight : 13
After some block selection editing,
variables.md weight: 15
taskruns.md weight: 2
labels.md weight: 10
metrics.md weight: 14
pipelineruns.md weight: 4
runs.md weight: 2
resources.md weight: 6
workspaces.md weight: 5
install.md weight: 1
migrating-v1alpha1-to-v1beta1.md weight: 18
deprecations.md weight: 19
auth.md weight: 7
tekton-controller-performance-configuration.md weight: 16
conditions.md weight: 11
podtemplates.md weight: 12
events.md weight: 2
container-contract.md weight: 8
tekton-bundle-contracts.md weight: 8
tasks.md weight: 1
migrating-from-knative-build.md weight: 17
pipelines.md weight: 3
logs.md weight: 9
enabling-ha.md weight: 13
we can use the external sort
program to sort the entries based on their respective weights:
%!sort -n -t ':' -k2
install.md weight: 1
tasks.md weight: 1
events.md weight: 2
runs.md weight: 2
taskruns.md weight: 2
pipelines.md weight: 3
pipelineruns.md weight: 4
workspaces.md weight: 5
resources.md weight: 6
auth.md weight: 7
container-contract.md weight: 8
tekton-bundle-contracts.md weight: 8
logs.md weight: 9
labels.md weight: 10
conditions.md weight: 11
podtemplates.md weight: 12
enabling-ha.md weight: 13
metrics.md weight: 14
variables.md weight: 15
tekton-controller-performance-configuration.md weight: 16
migrating-from-knative-build.md weight: 17
migrating-v1alpha1-to-v1beta1.md weight: 18
deprecations.md weight: 19
