csvlens is a command-line CSV file viewer built in Rust, functioning like `less` but tailored for CSV files. It supports scrolling, regex search and filtering, sorting, column freezing, and piping CSV data directly into the viewer.

Use cases

• view large csv files in the terminal
• search and filter csv rows with regex
• sort csv data by column from the command line
• pipe command output into a csv pager
• inspect delimited data files like tsv
• copy selected csv cells to clipboard

When to choose

• you need a fast, interactive terminal viewer for CSV or TSV files
• you want to explore large CSVs without loading them into a spreadsheet
• you want to pipe CSV output from other commands into a pager

When to avoid

• you need to edit or transform CSV data, not just view it
• you need a GUI spreadsheet experience
• you work with non-delimited structured formats like JSON or Parquet
