Concordancing with Libreoffice and .csv files

[Kevin Parent]

Hello all.

So I'm doing some concordancing, mostly straight out of the book. If I'm writing the data with:
cat(file=file.name,'LEFT\tNODE\tRIGHT',hits,sep='\n')

is there some way I can get the LEFT column to be left-justified, the NODE to be centered, etc? Of course I can do it manually, but it's a bit annoying when dealing with a lot of concordance files.

I know that .csv files have no formatting at all, so perhaps it's possible to have a second script load the files and rewrite them in a format that allows formatting code?

Not sure it wouldn't be easier to just record a macro in LO, but I
haven't played around with this much ...
