[OT] Text Editor that Does Tables?

I enter a lot of tables as C-language comments. I use vertical bars and so on to separate columns.A typical table might be a Boolean function, or a list of I/O pins and how they are assigned. 2-100 rows is typical, and 2-5 columns is typical.Widening columns is a huge headache, as I have to do every row of the table (sometimes hundreds of lines). I use a SlickEdit macro repeatedly, but even then it is a huge job.Is there a text editor out there (or a feature of SlickEdit I'm unaware of) that supports ASCII tables directly?Thanks.-- David T.
