.II "dash line^insert"
|
|
The command
|
|
.B insertdash
|
|
writes a line of dashes (hyphens) as the second line of the table.
|
|
It makes the dash line
|
|
by copying the head line and turning every character in the
|
|
first into a hyphen except the tabs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This command is useful for files created by the system or non-COHERENT
|
|
programs that do not have the dash line.
|
|
However, you will also need to convert field separators into tabs.
|
|
.II sed
|
|
.II tr
|
|
You can do this with the COHERENT commands
|
|
.B tr
|
|
or
|
|
.BR sed .
