Cannot delete first row using /delete 0/ or /delete 0:n

What a great tool!

With this CSV I'm not able to delete the first row, any range on the delete method - 0 or 0:4 and the first row always comes through.

Great that you like it!

This is a tricky one: the issue is that we always assume there is a header row by default for CSVs so the delete just applies to the non-header rows. What you want i think is to use the -H option to csv parser:
