I discovered a funny artifact when a csv contains tabs in a field; somehow the tab in a column makes the rest of the field display under the next column. I have attached a very small test file
testset.csv
.
It displays as this:
containstabs changedvalue
foo bar
"b a z" baz
notabs notabs
"one tab" one tab
Browsing at TabWriter I see that the delimiter is set to a tab. Since xsv table is not meant to be consumed by a process, I'd propose to replace any tabs with a space (or 2).
Small nuisance in a great tool! thanks for writing it.
