This is a general purpose version of a subnetwork I posted earlier. This version allows you to easily make a table of up to six columns. Just enter the header names as a comma-separated list then hook up as many lists as you need to populate the columns. For best results make sure the lists have the same number of members (or has only one member if you want to repeat that value on each row).
Make_table outputs a table (technically a list of zipmaps) which you treat like any other table in NodeBox, You can filter it, sort it, do lookups, even export it as a CSV.
This is the single most useful subnetwork I have ever created. I use it constantly. Frederik, if you're listening, I wish this was a standard NodeBox node. It would be easy to add to the next release!
For tables with more than 6 columns, see the MERGE_TABLES comment below.
Here is a bonus for you table hounds: Merge_Tables.
This subnetwork allows you to create tables with more than six columns by merging two smaller tables. Just connect the two tables. The resulting table will have columns from both. For best results make sure both tables have the same number of rows.
Frederik, I really think make_table should be a standard node. I'm not sure about merge_tables though. It's nice to have but less often needed.
