Hallo people:

text data looks like following:

  col1            col2     col3
  nm              srm      dt
  ----------------- ---------- -----------
  raw1 for       col2     col3
  col1 comes             here
  here

  raw2            col2     col3
  is here         ok


- no special character separates the columns. The only information
about columns is kept by ---dashes-with-space--- line.
- empty line is separator between records. All other lines start with 2 spaces.
- table is NOT postfix-aligned with space characters, ie. after `here`
and `ok` there are no space characters.
- there are more columns and rows in my real table than in this example.
- 2 spaces at the beginning of lines do not have to be preserved in result.

I need to convert this data into orgtbl table. The best would be some
elisp macro.

Have You some ideas how to do this?

reagards,
Paul

I'm sending my example table once; I have an impression that the
initial one is badly aligned


  col1              col2       col3
  nm                srm        dt
  ----------------- ---------- -----------
  raw1 for          col2       col3
  col1 comes        here
  here

  raw2              col2       col3
  is here           ok
