Show HN: Rei – Process lists easily
- paulojreis 11y agoJust FYI, as your README.md starts with naming considerations, "rei" means king in portuguese. :)
- brobinson 11y agoIt has a ton of meanings in Japanese and Hebrew, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rei https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rei
- huac 11y agoWell, none of those meanings are particularly bad - 'king,' 'exquisite, clever, sound of jewels,' 'friend' even sound pretty good
- ZenoArrow 11y agoDoes anyone know which of the Japanese characters is commonly used for the character Rei Ayanami? I know anime names tend to be chosen to convey extra meanings, would be interested to know what GAINAX/Anno intended.
- photosinensis 11y ago波, which is "wave".
- ZenoArrow 11y agoThank you.
- jroes 11y agoThis is neat! I wrote something similar while learning Go a while back. https://github.com/jroes/par https://github.com/jroes/par
- makmanalp 11y agoNo offense, but you've obviously not even given a cursory glance at the link, yet pretended to do so by calling it "neat" and immediately promoted your own unrelated link. Please don't do this.
- spb 11y agoThere actually was a similar tool to this on the front page of HN yesterday - I think the commenter probably had multiple tabs open and accidentally added their comment to the wrong thread.

- spb 11y agoThis isn't remotely similar to the OP, which is about editing textual lists. Did you maybe mean to post this to the "nq" thread from yesterday?
- loevborg 11y agoI like it, thanks for building it! So far I've used csvkit (https://csvkit.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.1/ https://csvkit.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.1/), which is quite powerful. Can `rei` also parse the header row of CSV files to automatically assign names to columns?
- kbenson 11y agoI'll just mention fsql[1] here as my favorite of the multiple programs available to query and manipulate different data formats. While more complex, as it requires SQL, that's also the reason I like it. In all the cases where I've had moderately sized lists of items and was tempted to stick them into a DB, fsql makes the job easier. I want to check out rei though, as it looks like for some common tasks it could be much easier to use. It might make a good addition to my toolkit for the simpler cases. 1: https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-fsql/bin/fsql https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-fsql/bin/fsql
- jonathanhefner 11y agoI hadn't heard of fsql, but I did recently find q[1]. If anyone has experience with both, I'd be interested to hear if one does its job better than the other. 1: http://harelba.github.io/q/ http://harelba.github.io/q/
