It would be nice to specify, as a command-line parameter, the number of lines to import from a file...

If I have a large file, certainly I can just HEAD it to get the lines I want. I'd love to run the following:

vd -n1000 filename.csv

and have visidata simply open the first 1000 records. I know I can ctrl-c to stop along the way on a large file.

Am I just dreaming?

Hi @jwnacnud, that feature doesn't exist yet. You could open an issue that would become a wishlist item, and it might be implemented at some point. I'm curious though, why would you only want the first 1000 records? Why not 10k or 100k?

Thanks. Done. Jeffrey Duncan
