Header lines option does nothing about q

[harelba]

Hi,

Can you please send an example in which it doesn't work?

I've tried the following and it seems to return the correct answers:
harel@harel-laptop:/dev/github/q$ ./q -H 0 "select * from exampledatafile" | wc -l
248
harel@harel-laptop:/dev/github/q$ ./q -H 1 "select * from exampledatafile" | wc -l
247
harel@harel-laptop:~/dev/github/q$ ./q -H 2 "select * from exampledatafile" | wc -l
246

So I've looked into it further. It doesn't seem to matter the file. What causes it to break is when I use the '-t' flag to use tab as the delimiter.

Oh, yes, you're right. It's a bug in the -t parameter. I'll fix that in the next revision. In the mean time, you can just use -d $'\t' instead of -t to get the tab delimition (The need for the $ before the '\t' is some linux quirk that was the reason i created the -t parameter in the first place). If you combine -d and -H they will both work. Only the -t "shortcut" is broken.

Beta version providing column name detection through the header will be released later on today.

Beta version 1.3.0b released with this fix. Will close when the version moves out of beta.

Fixed in 1.3.0. Closing.
