in reply to Module for parsing tables from plain text document
This could be done by a combination of statistics/histograms to identify empty columns and heuristics, but can't be perfect.
Small number of data would result in ambiguity.
But a semi automatic approach, where you choose a result of your liking sounds very feasible.
Think of the way Excel asks about the best way to import CSV after showing a best guess. °
Would that be good enough?
The first step would require collecting sufficient training data.
