Convert tabular information to ASCII text

[mistral]

Does it possible with javascript represent tabular information as
plain text? Is there way to convert spreadsheets and tables to and
from ASCII text? Which can be used for email messages, source code
comments and cross-platform documentation.

Regards

Yes.

As javascript is a programming language,
it can with string information do any string manipulation.

getting the string from and to a file
depends on the security of the actual environment.
