# Description Resolves issue #8370 Adds the following flags to commands `from csv` and `from tsv`: - `--flexible`: allow the number of fields in records to be variable - `-c --comment`: a comment character to ignore lines starting with it - `-q --quote`: a quote character to ignore separators in strings, defaults to '\"' - `-e --escape`: an escape character for strings containing the quote character Internally, the `Value` struct has an additional helper function `as_char` which converts it to a single `char` # User-Facing Changes The single quoted string `'\t'` can no longer be used as a parameter for the flag `--separator '\t'` as it is interpreted as a two-character string. One needs to use from now on the flag with a double quoted string like so: `-s "\t"` which correctly interprets the string as a single `char`.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
