Hi, thanks for sharing your feature request.
I tried using
column -ts $'\t' notes.tsv | bat -l tsv
to columnate the data, but then bat doesn't understand the file
That is expected, as there is no way for bat
to know with a variable-space-separated file whether a field contains a space character or not and would highlight it wrongly/misleadingly.
But
column -ts $'\t' -o $'\t' notes.tsv | bat -l tsv --wrap never --tabs 0
seems to work, but I think it'd be better to have it as a setting.
Nice solution. In my testing the --tabs 0
has no effect here, but maybe I'm missing something.
In terms of making a setting for it, well, bat
reads the input one line at a time (especially when piping from stdin), so there is no way in advance for it to know the max width of each column. Indeed, the syntax highlighting engine wouldn't support it anyway. So I think your column
pre-processing is the way to go. Now that we have $LESSOPEN
support (#2444), perhaps that can also be utilized somehow - perhaps with a wrapper script - to "make it easier" than having to type the whole thing out each time you work with a tsv file?

I'm not sure what $LESSOPEN
does, but it seems to be defined as LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s
on my computer. I didn't know that bat
read one line at a time, thanks for the information, at the end I put this in my .bashrc
:
tsv() {
column -ts $'\t' -o $'\t' "$1" | bat -l tsv --wrap never --tabs 0 --file-name "$1"
}
The --file-name
parameter is really useful!
