[OT] Text Editor that Does Tables?

I enter a lot of tables as C-language comments.  I use vertical bars and so

on to separate columns.

A typical table might be a Boolean function, or a list of I/O pins and how

they are assigned.  2-100 rows is typical, and 2-5 columns is typical.

Widening columns is a huge headache, as I have to do every row of the
table 
(sometimes hundreds of lines).  I use a SlickEdit macro repeatedly, but
even 
then it is a huge job.

Is there a text editor out there (or a feature of SlickEdit I'm unaware
of) 
that sup****ts ASCII tables directly?

Thanks.
