## NAME

treeify - manual page for treeify 3.1.0

## DESCRIPTION

usage: treeify \[-h\] \[-o OUTPUT\] \[-r PATTERN\] \[-d DELIMITER\] \[-s SPLIT\] \[-F\]

-

  \[-A\] \[--filler FILLER\] \[input\]

Identify a column of text that contains hierarchical id and treeify that column. This script will inspect a text file and attempt to find a vertically left-aligned column of text that contains identifiers with multiple components, such as "Assets:US:Bank:Checking", and replace those by a treelike structure rendered in ASCII, inserting new empty lines where necessary to create the tree. Note: If your paths have spaces in them, this will not work. Space is used as a delimiter to detect the end of a column. You can customize the delimiter with an option.
