# from tsv
Parse text as `.tsv` and create table.
Syntax: `from tsv {flags}`
### Flags:
--headerless
don't treat the first row as column names
## Examples
Let's say we have the following file which is formatted like a `tsv` file:
```shell
> open elements.txt
Symbol Element
H Hydrogen
He Helium
Li Lithium
Be Beryllium
```
If we pass the output of the `open` command to `from tsv` we get a correct formatted table:
```shell
> open elements.txt | from tsv
━━━┯━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━
# │ Symbol │ Element
───┼────────┼───────────
0 │ H │ Hydrogen
1 │ He │ Helium
2 │ Li │ Lithium
3 │ Be │ Beryllium
━━━┷━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━
```
Using the `--headerless` flag has the following output:
```shell
> open elements.txt | from tsv --headerless
━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━
# │ Column1 │ Column2
────┼─────────┼───────────
0 │ Symbol │ Element
1 │ H │ Hydrogen
2 │ He │ Helium
3 │ Li │ Lithium
4 │ Be │ Beryllium
━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━
```
