Hi there!

I'm looking for software which could detect and recognize tabular data in
text and extract the tables, storing them in a table description language
(something like that used by tbl--but not necessarily tbl).
The system ideally would look like this:

in                out
text -> parser -> tbl files

Has anyone heard seen or smelled such a piece of code?

Please reply to hdediu@gte.com
Thanks much.
