Visidata is a great interactive tool. TV seems like it would be better when scripting, or in one-liners.

For scripting I would use grep and cut, maybe awk. For scripting with CSV files, at least in my experience, you usually want specific columns from specific lines.

If TV had a switch for specifying only certain columns, that would make the job much easier.

sounds like you are looking for xsv. I like that tool a lot for selecting specific columns.
