It does not appear to support the file types I regularly work with: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-reporting...

These files have a field delimiter of '|' with a line delimiter of '\r\n', as individual fields also contain '\n' characters.

I prefer visidata as the program stays running while searching and navigating through large files, making subsequent searches and filtering much faster, plus editing/writing is also supported, as well as Excel and other formats I regularly use.
