## Example for `from csv`
|
|
|
|
Let's say we have the following file :
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
> 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 :
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
> 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:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
> open pets.txt | from csv
|
|

|
|
