EPLACE VERTICAL LINES

The IRISPen is able to detect and replace vertical lines separating
data as e.g. table columns. By default, the software replaces vertical
lines by the command. This means that each time it
encounters a vertical line during scanning, it executes a tabulation
in your target application. If your target application is a spreadsheet,
the moves your cursor to the next cell and the various bits of
data are inserted in separate cells.

Various keyboard commands are proposed for the conversion, but
you will also be able to replace vertical lines by characters or any
combination of characters and commands.

Tip:
How to recompose a whole table?

If on top of the default command, you add the line ending code
(see: Frequent commands, Delimiters), you
cursor will be relocated on the next row after each scanned line. By doing so,
you will be able to recompose a whole table.
