Add accepted csv dialects to manpage/docs #88
Comments
Doc addition included into VisiData v0.98.1. |
Hi, where can I find the specs of excel-tab, unix, and excel dialects? For "unix" I have found "The unix_dialect class defines the usual properties of a CSV file generated on UNIX systems, i.e. using '\n' as line terminator and quoting all fields. It is registered with the dialect name 'unix'". It's not complete, but it's something. Thank you |
Hi @aborruso, it seems like you've found the right Python documentation for the dialects. Unfortunately I don't have any better information since we're just passing that parameter along to the Python csv parser. If you find a more thorough explanation of the dialects, please let us know and we'll include it in our docs too. |
From comment by @wavexx on TabViewer/tabview#152:
Adding a list of dialects supported by Python 3.4 to the SUPPORTED SOURCES section (with "see SS" by the --dialect and --filetype options, as suggested) is probably the right way to go.
