I'm grateful to users who have greatly helped to report bugs and suggested new features.

I may respond to issues or fix bugs quickly, but I usually implement new features periodically (two or more weeks).

Hi, The 1s is the last character 1 of wrapped sherlock51 (it would be more obvious with another output style -S grid).

You can either set a biger -n or -W.

https://bioinf.shenwei.me/csvtk/usage/#pretty

 -n, --buf-rows int            the number of rows to determine the min and max widths (default 128)
 -W, --max-width int           max width

Very helpful, and quick answer. Thank you. I didn't realize that -n exited. This solves my problem. However ... I have the same processes running on macOS and Ubuntu Linux. csvtk on Linux is v0.24.0 It formats the output as expected, no wrapping, without using any flags. But that's OK. Just letting you know.

csvtk on Linux is v0.24.0 It formats the output as expected, no wrapping, without using any flags.

Thanks for mentioning that. In v0.26.0, I reimplemented the pretty command, which wraps long cells by default.
