A command line utility like less but for displaying tabular data
graphically. Like less, tabless does not need to read the entire file (or
pipe) before it displays it, so it's quick to use when working on the command
line.
This uses tcell and tview to handle the drawing.
go get github.com/georgek/tabless# read from file
tabless filename
# read from pipe
table_generator | tablessusage: tabless [flags] [filename]
flags:
-b display graphical borders (default true)
-d string
column delimiter to use (default "\t")Use the included generate-massive-table.py to generate a lot of data for
testing. Without a command line argument it generates a huge table so be
careful.
# generate 10000 rows
python utils/generate-massive-table.py -r 10000 | tabless
# simulate slow pipe (10 rows per second)
python utils/generate-massive-table.py -s 0.1 -r 10000 | tabless
