Table from multiple delimiter list

Question

Question

I am trying to get a table based on a multiple delimiter string. My current idea is to use \setsepchar{} and \readlist.

I put my requirements and details into a table because I would have a harder time putting the information into sentences in a way that makes sense.

Criteria

Answer Requirement

#	Requirement	Reason
1	Optional add prefix to left column	Same left column prefix across all rows
2	Optional add suffix to right column	Same right column suffix across all rows
3	Function callable from tabular environment
4	Usable within a node	The table is placed in a node in a tikzpicture environment

Options

#	Option	Reason
1	Multiple Delimiters	So long as the prefix and suffix condition is met multiple delimiters is not a necessity.
2	Environment Instead Of A Function	So long as the prefix and suffix condition is met using a function is not a necessity.

Misc Details

#	Detail
1	I prefer using xparse \NewDocumentCommand and \NewDocumentEnvironment due to ease with optional parameters
2	There will only ever be 2 columns, but the number of rows could be 20 or it could be 10.
3	I will be using this many times so having a function would be much easier than doing this by hand every single time.
4	Eventually this will be put into an ".sty" file.

Code

\usepackage{xparse}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\usepackage{listofitems}

\makeatletter
% #1 = Prefix for left column 
% #2 = Suffix for right column
% #3 = Left column header
% #4 = Right column header
% #5 = Input List
\NewDocumentCommand{\ptr}{O{} O{"} O{Parameter} O{Value} m}
{
#3 & #4 \\
\setsepchar{;/,}
\readlist\trlist{#5}
\foreach \n in {1,...,\trlistlen}
{
#1\trlist[\n,1] & \trlist[\n,2] #2 \\
\hline
}
\makeatother
\ProcessOptions\relax


\begin{document}
% As Examples
Data 1
\begin{tabular}{| l | r |}
\ptr[groupa00]["]{test1,1;test2,2;test3,3}
\end{tabular}

Data 2
\begin{tabular}{| l | r |}
\ptr[groupb00]["]{test1,1;test2,2;test3,3}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Output

The output should be the look like below:

Data 1

Parameter	Value
groupa00Test1	1"
groupa00Test2	2"
groupa00Test3	3"

Data 2

Parameter	Value
groupb00Test1	1"
groupb00Test2	2"
groupb00Test3	3"

Answer 1

I wouldn't use many optional arguments, because if you just want one you have to use all the preceding ones.

A key-value syntax seems better.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xparse}

\ExplSyntaxOn

\keys_define:nn { dickstein/tables }
 {
  lh   .tl_set:N  = \l_dickstein_tables_lh_tl, % left header
  lh   .initial:n = Parameter,
  rh   .tl_set:N  = \l_dickstein_tables_rh_tl, % right header
  rh   .initial:n = Value,
  pre  .tl_set:N  = \l_dickstein_tables_pre_tl, % prefix
  post .tl_set:N  = \l_dickstein_tables_post_tl, % suffix
 }
\seq_new:N \l_dickstein_tables_allrows_seq
\seq_new:N \l_dickstein_tables_onerow_seq

\NewDocumentCommand{\ptr}{O{}m}
 {
  % #1 = options
  % #2 = Input List
  \group_begin: % localize the setting of keys
  \keys_set:nn { dickstein/tables } { #1 }
  % split the input into rows
  \seq_set_split:Nnn \l_dickstein_tables_allrows_seq { ; } { #2 }
  \begin{tabular}{| l | r |}
  \hline
  \bfseries \l_dickstein_tables_lh_tl & \bfseries \l_dickstein_tables_rh_tl \\
  \hline
  % make all rows
  \seq_map_function:NN \l_dickstein_tables_allrows_seq \dickstein_tables_row:n
  \hline
  \end{tabular}
  \group_end:
}

\cs_new_protected:Nn \dickstein_tables_row:n
 {
  % split the input at the comma
  \seq_set_from_clist:Nn \l_dickstein_tables_onerow_seq { #1 }
  % the prefix
  \l_dickstein_tables_pre_tl
  % the entries
  \seq_use:Nn \l_dickstein_tables_onerow_seq { & }
  % the suffix
  \l_dickstein_tables_post_tl
  \\
 }

\ExplSyntaxOff


\begin{document}

Data 1

\ptr[pre=groupa00]{test1,1;test2,2;test3,3}

Data 2

\ptr[
  pre=groupb00,
  post=XYZ,
  lh=P,
  rh=V
]{test1,1;test2,2;test3,3}

\end{document}

Answer 2

Similar things have already been asked here and there for example. Based on the answers to these questions, the following can be done (which, although not shown here, would also work if the resulting macro is used inside a TikZ node):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xparse}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\usepackage{listofitems}

\newtoks\temptabtoks
\newcommand\addtabtoks[1]{\global\temptabtoks\expandafter{\the\temptabtoks#1}}
\newcommand\eaddtabtoks[1]{\edef\etemp{#1}\expandafter\addtabtoks\expandafter{\etemp}}
\newcommand*\resettabtoks{\global\temptabtoks{}}
\newcommand*\printtabtoks{\the\temptabtoks}

% #1 = Prefix for left column 
% #2 = Suffix for right column
% #3 = Left column header
% #4 = Right column header
% #5 = Input List
\NewDocumentCommand{\ptr}{O{} O{"} O{Parameter} O{Value} m}{%
\setsepchar{;/,}
\readlist\trlist{#5}
\resettabtoks
\addtabtoks{\hline}
\addtabtoks{\textbf{#3} & \textbf{#4} \\}
\addtabtoks{\hline}
\foreach \n in {1,...,\trlistlen} {
  \eaddtabtoks{#1\trlist[\n,1]}
  \addtabtoks{&} 
  \eaddtabtoks{\trlist[\n,2]#2}
  \addtabtoks{\\}
  \addtabtoks{\hline}
}
\begin{tabular}{| l | r |}
\printtabtoks
\end{tabular}
}

\ProcessOptions\relax

\begin{document}
Data 1

\ptr[groupa00]["]{test1,1;test2,2;test3,3}

\bigskip

Data 2

\ptr[groupb00]["]{test1,1;test2,2;test3,3}

\end{document}

As you can see, I included the tabular environment inside the \ptr macro, which is maybe not what you want (as per Requirement 3), but would spare you some typing. Also, you should probably rename the internal macros to something "safer", especially if you want to place this inside a .sty files.
