table row(s) - copy as "table"

Folks, I see, this question was asked variously so many times in the past, but to be honest, I didn't find an answer:

• do we have an option to copy sql query output in a table format - format not suitable for anything else but for human consumption?

I believe, it is default output format in mysql shell. Might be we can have the same in HeidiSQL "copy as" menu?

Thank you for answer.

Did you try out the delimited text output? You can for example use a Tab as field separator, which makes the output quite readable.

Thank you, @ansgar. Delimited text output is not a bad idea, however there is one problem - vertical strings' alignment. I will show example:

chivi@Lenovo-G50-30:~/Desktop$ cat text_delimited 
Column1;Column2;Column3;Column4
AString;AString;AString;AString
ALongString;ALongString;ALongString;ALongString
EvenLongerString;EvenLongerString;EvenLongerString;EvenLongerString

chivi@Lenovo-G50-30:~/Desktop$ cat text_delimited | tr ";" "\t"
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
AString AString AString AString
ALongString ALongString ALongString ALongString
EvenLongerString    EvenLongerString    EvenLongerString    EvenLongerString

chivi@Lenovo-G50-30:~/Desktop$ cat text_delimited | tr ";" "\t" | column -t
Column1           Column2           Column3           Column4
AString           AString           AString           AString
ALongString       ALongString       ALongString       ALongString
EvenLongerString  EvenLongerString  EvenLongerString  EvenLongerString

Ideally I would like to have the last (table) output data format. Provided example is aggravated, when your SELECT has output of 20+ columns.

Yes, tab is just a tick better than any other single char, but of course broken with longer text.

I could probably create a new export format for that kind of "human readable text". Could you please create an issue in the tracker?
