fixes#969, admittedly without a --delimiter alias
moves from_structured_data.rs to from_delimited_data.rs to better
identify its scope and adds to_delimited_data.rs. Now csv and tsv both
use the same code, tsv passes in a fixed '\t' argument where csv passes
in the value of --separator
`save` attempts to convert input based on the target filename extension,
and expects a stream of text otherwise. However the error message is
unclear and provides little guidance, hopefully this is less confusing
to new users.
It might be worthwhile to also add a hint about adding an extension,
though I'm not sure if it's possible to emit multiple diagnostics.
tables and able to work with them for data processing & viewing
purposes. At the moment, certain ways to process said tables we
are able to view a histogram of a given column.
As usage matures, we may find certain core commands that could
be used ergonomically when working with tables on Nu.
The functions for retrieving, replacing, and inserting values into values all assumed they get the complete
column path as regular tagged strings. This commit changes for these to accept a tagged values instead. Basically
it means we can have column paths containing strings and numbers (eg. package.authors.1)
Unfortunately, for the moment all members when parsed and deserialized for a command that expects column paths
of tagged values will get tagged values (encapsulating Members) as strings only.
This makes it impossible to determine whether package.authors.1 package.authors."1" (meaning the "number" 1) is
a string member or a number member and thus prevents to know and force the user that paths enclosed in double
quotes means "retrieve the column at this given table" and that numbers are for retrieving a particular row number
from a table.
This commit sets in place the infraestructure needed when integer members land, in the mean time the workaround
is to convert back to strings the tagged values passed from the column paths.
