RecordStream

A plug of my tools: To visualize data coming in from a pipe, can pipe it to https://github.com/dkogan/feedgnuplot Very useful in conjunction with other tools to provide filtering and manipulation. For instance (the first one is mine): https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog https://www.gnu.org/software/datamash/ https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/ https://github.com/johnkerl/miller https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils-dlang http://harelba.github.io/q/ https://github.com/BatchLabs/charlatan https://github.com/dinedal/textql https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv https://github.com/dbohdan/sqawk https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ https://github.com/benbernard/RecordStream

There're lots of tools in this space that are similar in a very general way, but have widely different design choices. My tookit is https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog It's tsv-utils-like, but is strictly a wrapper around existing tools. So filtering and transformations are interpreted literally as awk (or perl) expressions. And the various cmdline options match the standard tool options because they ARE the standard tools. So you get a very friendly learning curve, but something like tsv-utils is probably faster and probably more powerful. And it looks like tsv-utils references fields by number instead of by name. Many of the others (mine included) use the field names, which makes a MAJOR usability improvement. Other tools in no particular order: https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/ https://github.com/johnkerl/miller https://github.com/eBay/tsv-ut
