Feature request: paste table data #31

Closed erikr closed 4 years ago

erikr commented 4 years ago

Check out https://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables: file → paste table data.

Would be great to have this feature on table-magic (which has a cleaner UI)!

Hey @erikr! Thanks for opening this.

I've found that some applications, including Chrome, will copy table data as TSV so it's worth copying the table, popping it into the CSV/TSV tab, and seeing if that works. This is actually the reason I added TSV support 😸

For times when that doesn't work, it looks like it should be possible to add support for pasting from other applications. Browser support might be a bit patchy though.

@stevecat Amazing! Confirming copy-paste from Excel to https://stevecat.net/table-magic works in both Chrome and Safari, at least for the small table I tried.

Thanks for your great work on this! I'm switching from that other URL to your site :)

Consider indicating to the user somewhere that copy-paste in that tab is possible.

Closing issue.
