from-csv
Converts content (string or binary) into a table. The format is specified as a subcommand, like from csv or from json.
Use this when nushell cannot determine the input file extension.
Available Subcommands
Example for from csv
Let's say we have the following file :
> cat pets.txt
animal, name, age
cat, Tom, 7
dog, Alfred, 10
chameleon, Linda, 1
pets.txt is actually a .csv file but it has the .txt extension, open is not able to convert it into a table :
> open pets.txt
animal, name, age
cat, Tom, 7
dog, Alfred, 10
chameleon, Linda, 1
To get a table from pets.txt we need to use the from csv command:
> open pets.txt | from csv
