Ask HN: What was that texted based CSV data analysis tool?

I remember there was a Show HN in the last 5 years where someone showed off a CSV data analysis tool, but it was all in ASCII, run from the command line. What was it called?



https://www.visidata.org/


I recommend this tutorial! =) https://jsvine.github.io/intro-to-visidata/the-big-picture/v...


Maybe xsv or csvkit?

https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv

https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/


I'll add to that list: https://github.com/johnkerl/miller

Also, I like using VisiData already mentioned.


Thank you for these two; they look very useful.


I don't know what tool you are referring to, but you can write write an R script and run it from the command line on a CSV file.
