How to modify this script?

[chaouche yacine]

I'm not confident this would run on gedit. It works on a python interpreter if you have a file named data.txt in the same directory containing your sample data.

It surely has to do with how gedit works then, because the "$" sign isn't used in python, this business should be a gedit convention. And sorry, I can't help on that, I'm not a user of gedit myself. Fortunately others have answered and I beleive one of the solutions worked for you.

I surpose I shall put your code between $< and >?

Aha, so you tested it yourself?

When running this in Gedit on four lines of tab-separated text the output is:

%s</tr>\n" % line

def addcolumn(item,nb_columns):
    if nb_columns != 3:
        return "<td colspan='%s'>%s</td>" % (3 - nb_columns + 1, item)
    return "<td>%s</td>" % item

output = "<table>\n"
for line in file("data.txt"):
    items = line.strip().split("\t")
    columns = ""
    for item in items :
        columns += addcolumn(item,len(items))
    output  += addline(columns)


output += "</table>"
print output
