How to modify this script?

[Subimal Deb]

Kurt,
Try this:


$<
lines = $GEDIT_SELECTED_TEXT.split("\n");
output = '<table\>\n';

for line in lines:
        output += '<tr\>';
        
        columns = line.split("\t");
	if len(columns)==1:
		output += '<tr\><td colspan="3"\>', line, '</td\></tr\>'
	else:
	        for item in columns:
        	        output += '<td\>' + item + '</td\> '
        
        output += '</tr\>\n';

output += '</table\>';
return output
 > 

----------------
All I have done is to 
If there is one item in the tab-separated line : 
         print the line as a row spanning 3 columns
else:
     print the items in the line as an item in each column
----------------
I have not tried this snippet in Gedit - so use with caution. 
----------------
good luck,
Subimal Deb
