Hi again, thanks a lot for the suggestions! You're absolutely right about the auto-detection (and documentation) of both the header row and the delimiter, I was busy with the auto-caching ability in the last few months in order to prov

Hi, author of q here. Regarding the error you got, q currently does not autodetect headers, so you'd need to add -H as a flag in order to use the "country" column name. You're absolutely correct on failing-fast here - It

pyoxidizer is amazing indeed. Just repackaged my own open source project for multiple platforms using pyoxidizier. I wish it would merge into the python ecosystem itself. Harel https://github.com/harelba

There's a command line tool called q, which allows performing SQL-like queries directly on text files, basically treating text as data and auto detecting column types. http://harelba.github.io/q/

Hi, I'm q's creator, Harel. There are obviously lots of other software which can provide a similar capability, and while I haven't checked all of them out, I'm really believe that most of them do a great job. However, my

Hi, I'm q's creator, Harel Ben-Attia. The Linux toolset is really great, and I use it extensively. The whole idea of the tool is not to replace any of the existing tools, but to extend the toolset to concepts which treat text as d

Hi, i'm q's creator (HN made the name q uppercase, but it's actually a lowercase q). The reasoning was that it's used as a command line tool, and used often. So "q" and not "Q" :)I'm currently pr

The standard tools are great, and I love them - It's not a tool for replacing them. The example above is the simplest one so people would get the concept (I would use wc -l in that case as well). However, once you need more complex stuff (s
