tsv-utils

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

You can use EBay tools as well, such as https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils after importing a CSV file as TSV.

Cool that there are some specialty tools in this space and will use if I hit that performance challenge. Minor nit, I found the performance table (https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils/blob/master/docs/Performan...) confusing at first and second glance. Alternating colors indicate.. different OSes? That doesn't seem to be the important message to convey as you are trying to show the speed of your tool and not the OS. Recommend to use the coloration to provide differentiation between tools instead of OS.

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

This is becoming a really crowded space. Some other similar tools that make slightly different design choices and that have variable envisioned use cases: - https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog - https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/ - https://github.com/johnkerl/miller - https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv - https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils-dlang - https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ - http://harelba.github.io/q/ - https://github.com/BatchLabs/charlatan - https://github.com/dinedal/textql - https://github.com/dbohdan/sqawk (disclaimer: vnlog is my tool)
