NAME

     VisiData — a terminal utility for exploring and arranging tabular data

SYNOPSIS

     vd [options] [input ...]
     vd [options] --play cmdlog [-w waitsecs] [--batch] [-i] [-o output] [field=value]
     vd [options] [input ...] +toplevel:subsheet:col:row

DESCRIPTION

     VisiData is an easy-to-use multipurpose tool to explore, clean, edit, and restructure data.
     Rows can be selected, filtered, and grouped; columns can be rearranged, transformed, and
     derived via regex or Python expressions; and workflows can be saved, documented, and
     replayed.

   REPLAY MODE
     -p, --play=cmdlog       replay a saved cmdlog within the interface
     -w, --replay-wait=seconds
                             wait seconds between commands
     -b, --batch             replay in batch mode (with no interface)
     -i, --interactive       launch VisiData in interactive mode after batch
     -o, --output=file       save final visible sheet to file as .tsv
     field=value             replace "{field}" in cmdlog contents with value

     z|  z\ expr      select/unselect rows matching Python expr in any visible column
      , (comma)       select rows matching display value of current cell in current column
     g,               select rows matching display value of current row in all visible columns
     z, gz,           select rows matching typed value of current cell/row in current column/all
                      visible columns

       [    ]         sort ascending/descending by current column; replace any existing sort
                      criteria
      g[   g]         sort ascending/descending by all key columns; replace any existing sort
                      criteria
      z[   z]         sort ascending/descending by current column; add to existing sort criteria
     gz[  gz]         sort ascending/descending by all key columns; add to existing sort criteria
      "               open duplicate sheet with only selected rows
     g"               open duplicate sheet with all rows
     gz"              open duplicate sheet with deepcopy of selected rows

     The rows in these duplicated sheets (except deepcopy) are references to rows on the original
     source sheets, and so edits to the filtered rows will naturally be reflected in the original
     rows.  Use g' to freeze sheet contents in a deliberate copy.

   Data Visualization
      . (dot)       plot current numeric column vs key columns. The numeric key column is used

     g.             plot a graph of all visible numeric columns vs key columns.

     If rows on the current sheet represent plottable coordinates (as in .shp or vector .mbtiles
     sources),  . plots the current row, and g. plots all selected rows (or all rows if none
     selected).

           vd -P open-plugins
     preplay longname open-plugins before starting the session

FILES

     At the start of every session, VisiData looks for $HOME/.visidatarc, and calls Python exec()
     on its contents if it exists. For example:

        options.min_memory_mb=100  # stop processing without 100MB free

        bindkey('0', 'go-leftmost')   # alias '0' to go to first column, like vim

        def median(values):
            L = sorted(values)
            return L[len(L)//2]

        vd.aggregator('median', median)

     Functions defined in .visidatarc are available in python expressions (e.g. in derived
     columns).

SUPPORTED SOURCES

     Core VisiData includes these sources:

        tsv (tab-separated value)
           Plain and simple. VisiData writes tsv format by default. See the --tsv-delimiter
           option.

        csv (comma-separated value)
           .csv files are a scourge upon the earth, and still regrettably common.
           See the --csv-dialect, --csv-delimiter, --csv-quotechar, and --csv-skipinitialspace
           options.
           Accepted dialects are excel-tab, unix, and excel.

        fixed (fixed width text)
           Columns are autodetected from the first 1000 rows (adjustable with --fixed-rows).

        json (single object) and jsonl/ndjson/ldjson (one object per line).
           Cells containing lists (e.g. [3]) or dicts ({3}) can be expanded into new columns with
           ( and unexpanded with ).

        sqlite
           May include multiple tables. The initial sheet is the table directory; Enter loads the
           entire table into memory. z^S saves modifications to source.

     URL schemes are also supported:
        http (requires requests); can be used as transport for with another filetype

     For a list of all remaining formats supported by VisiData, see https://visidata.org/formats.

     In addition, .zip, .gz, .bz2, .xz, ,zstd, and .zst files are decompressed on the fly.
