csv2md
Stupidly simple tool to convert csv/tsv to markdown table.
Prints result in stdout.
Usage:
csv2md [-help|--help] [-f=<FILE>] [-h=<HEADER>] [-t] [-a]
Available arguments:
-help|--help - show this help
-f=<FILE> - convert specified FILE
-h=<HEADER> - add main header (h1) to result
-t - convert input as tsv
-a - align columns width
FILE formats supported:
- csv (default)
- tsv (with -t flag)
Path to FILE may be presented as:
- absolute
- relative to current working directory
- relative to user home directory (~)
Both HEADER and FILE path with whitespaces must be double-quoted.
To save result as separate file you should use redirection operators (> or >>).
IMPORTANT:
- Input data must be valid csv/tsv
- Whitespaces allowed only between double-quotes
- Due to markdown spec first line of result table will always be presented as header.
So if your raw data hasn't one you'll should add it before conversion or edit later in ready md.
Examples
csv2md - paste or type csv to stdin and then
press Ctrl+D to view result in stdout
csv2md -t > example.md - paste or type tsv to stdin and then
press Ctrl+D to write result in new file
csv2md -f example.csv - convert csv from file and view result in stdout
csv2md -t < example.tsv - convert tsv from stdin and view result in stdout
csv2md -t < example.tsv > example.md - convert tsv from stdin and write result in new file
cat example.csv | csv2md - convert csv from stdin and view result in stdout
csv2md -t -f=example.tsv > example.md - convert tsv from file and write result in new file
csv2md -f example.csv | less - convert csv from file and view result in stdout using pager
csv2md -f example.csv | code -n - - convert csv from file and open result in vscode
...anything is possible with redirection and piping, inc. grep, sed, awk, etc.
You can generate some examples here: csv, tsv
