I sometimes work with files looking like this BEL EQ 13-Jan-2006 978.85 988.9 1050 983 1025 1024.5 1025.94 276666 2838.429191 BEL EQ 16-Jan-2006 1024.5 1030 1043 1001.5 1003.5 1008.65 1027.02 72409 743.655 BEL EQ 17-Jan-2006 1008.65 1010 1030 985.1 993.75 989.95 1013.83 102589 1040.07 BEL EQ 18-Jan-2006 989.95 984 1006.8 963.6 1002.15 999.45 990.75 94266 933.9413
When I have a few thousand rows like this, this becomes difficult to read, so I tend to a) M-x org-mode b) C-x h followed by C-c | This makes it easier to read as you can see below | BEL | EQ | 02-Jan-2006 | 993.15 | 998 | 1001 | 983 |.. | BEL | EQ | 03-Jan-2006 | 989.05 | 999.5 | 1000 | 989.9 |.. | BEL | EQ | 04-Jan-2006 | 994.35 | 998 | 1014 | 986.15 |.. How do I use the overlay for editing but keep the underlying file structure? If I do an C-C C-e, I get unnecessary headers and the fields are tabbed out and I have to save it as a different file. Ideally, I'd like to keep the file structure as it is and just use org-mode to provide viewing structure while editing. sivaram --
