Hi,
the tool is so convenient, but there is an undesired blank space in the generated table, just like below:

How could I fix it?

Looking forward to any reply.

Best wishes.

Should be possible to pass CSV/JSON data in STDIN or read from STDOUT of another command or from URL download. This helps in visualizing JSON or CSV responses

For example,there is a csv file :

link,title,description,date
http://github.com/1,title1,1,20170815
http://github.com/2,title2,2,20170815
http://github.com/3,title3,3,20170815
http://github.com/4,title4,4,20170814

output should like this:

if I want to insert image in each line.
so, what can i do.
I need to change template.html ?
thx.

Attached the CSV
data.zip

Would it be possible for the next version to include in the final html a line
<!-- This file was made by csvtotable https://github.com/vividvilla/csvtotable -->
?
Knowlegeable visitors to my pages have been asking me how it was done ...

When the last row of a CSV has a trailing newline, i.e. an empty line at the end, then the HTML page displays an error popup upon load:

DataTables warning: table id=table - Requested unknown parameter '0' for row 11227, column 0. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/4

Successfully installed csvtotable using pip package, but still getting this error:
csvtotable not found.

Can I link javascript and css from html file like this:

I have tried this. not working.

Clicking on date column header does not make sorting correct.

I have a table with over 50,000 rows, and growing... Having so much makes the page take an extreme amount of time to load... Is there any way of not showing the table until a search is made, sorta like google/youtube etc. ?

If I have a file called "t.csv", to create "t.html", and "t.csv" is approx 143 lines in length, and I want to paginate every 20 row, I am guessing that the syntax is as follows:

csvtotable ./t.csv ./t.html -p -o -vs 20

Somehow, it remains as infinite virtual scrolling, rather than limiting to 20 rows. Am I doing something wrong, or was this intented to always be infinite scrolling?

Is it possible to update the AUR package?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/csvtotable/
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=csvtotable

OK, I was able to use the workaround, then also did the upgrade; in both circumstances, I was able to generate HTML. However...upon taking closer look at the actual output file, it looks like it uses "jQueryUI" and another JavaScript-embedded script. It should be actively displaying the information (sorting, searching, etc.)

I was unable to see this done. What am I doing wrong?

Hi!
Is it possible to align the columns with digits to right?
Thanks,
Sergiy

this soft is that mysql >>> html ,I get data from mysql
so can I delivered delivered my soft on githup?

When I generate the HTML code, do I legally own the output?

Hey

I am facing this issue while using the csvtotable tool.
File "/home/sahaji/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/unicodecsv/py2.py", line 117, in next
row = self.reader.next()
_csv.Error: field larger than field limit (131072)

Is there a way to increase the field limit? It would be easy to do if it was read from a config file.
Similarly, for a larger number of rows, I got a memory error. How to allocate more memory?

Am getting an "Aborted!" error message.

I saved the file as UTF-8 text, then converted it to CSV. The output from the process is shown below.

[root@server ~]# csvtotable t.csv t.html
Aborted!
[root@server ~]# more t.csv
ABC,12.34,T,1
ABC,12.31,F,2
ABC,12.40,T,3
ABC,12.32,T,4

BTW, I am running CentOS 7, with Python development kit, patched, and latest updates (via yum). There were no errors during the install.

Hi! This is really useful tool.
The change-log any kind will be very useful. To track what's going on and what a new release gives me.

Thanks

It would be nice if this tool could be used without having to delete the HTML file afterwards (when you're done reviewing the CSV file).

For example, you'd run csvtotable my_file.csv --view (or similar) and view the HTML page in your browser directly without writing it to a file (similar to how you can run a webserver by doing python -m http.server 8000).

In getting started (README) it says csvtohtml and I think you meant csvtotable

On a separate issue, first CSV I tried it on I get a char encoding issue. The CSV is not public so I can't attach it, but I'm sure you can find some that contain utf8 chars

你好 我借鉴了您的代码 写了从mysql中读取数据生成html table，我可以发表出来 共享吗

Hi! First, thanks for this project, it served my goal very well!

When using an UTF-16 file, it prints the error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: invalid start byte

When converting the file to UTF-8 using iconv it works fine.

Is there a way to specify the tab character as the delimiter in the CLI?

If I run

$ csvtotable <tabseperatedcsv.csv> /tmp/out.html -d '\t'

the following error occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/csvtotable", line 11, in <module>

    self.reader = csv.reader(f, dialect, **kwds)
TypeError: "delimiter" must be an 1-character string

This also happens with Python 3.6.1.

Thanks for csvtotable! It works great except for one (minor) issue. The rows of my input files are sorted in a specific order but csvtotable appears to automatically (re)sort the data on the first column when generating the html table. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have the option to preserve the row order of the input file. Again, thanks for csvtotable!

Why there are so many unresolved issues and unmerged PRs? If you can give me write access I can help you develop this repo.

Really nice program. Is there a way to add names to the column 1 to column n to something else, please?
ideally i would like to have column 1 is name, column 2 is date, column n to be measurements x. Also, any way to add my own text at the top and at bottom of the page, please?
