NAME
clevercsv-view - View the CSV file on the command line using TabView
SYNOPSIS
clevercsv view [-e ENCODING | --encoding=ENCODING] [-n NUM_CHARS | --num-chars=NUM_CHARS] [-t | --transpose] <path>
DESCRIPTION
The view command is useful to quickly inspect a messy CSV file on the command line.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-e, --encoding
The file encoding of the given CSV file is automatically
detected using chardet. While chardet is incredibly accurate, it is not
perfect. In the rare cases that it makes a mistake in detecting the file
encoding, you can override the encoding by providing it through this flag.
Moreover, when you have a number of CSV files with a known file encoding, you
can use this option to speed up the code generation process.
-n, --num-chars
On large CSV files, dialect detection can sometimes be a
bit slow due to the large number of possible dialects to consider. To
alleviate this, you can limit the number of characters to use for detection.
One aspect to keep in mind is that CleverCSV may need to read a specific number of characters to be able to correctly infer the dialect. For example, in the ``imdb.csv`` file in the GitHub repository, the correct dialect can only be found after at least 66 lines of the file are read. Therefore, if there is availability to run CleverCSV on the entire file, that is generally recommended.
-t, --transpose
Transpose the columns of the input file before
viewing
<path>
