Replay of commands over any sheet

[hacker-DOM]

Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to execute commands from the Cli (kind of like you can do in Vim with the +'bla' or -c bla Cli options. Essentially I have something like

function dom_gho() {
    local owner="$1"
    shift
    gh repo list "$owner" --limit 150 --json nameWithOwner,languages,stargazerCount,createdAt,pushedAt,updatedAt,description,homepageUrl,name,url,visibility,isArchived "$@" | vd -f json -
}

I am writing a wrapper over gh repo list <organization> but would like to sort by stargazerCount automatically. Unfortunately it seems to me that this isn't possible even with replays since they specify which sheet to open. Thanks in advance for ideas.

Hi @hacker-DOM, it is possible with replays, you just need to remove the open-file command, and the replay will operate on the current (top) sheet.

That worked, thanks! Is there a way to also set the width of the nameWithOwner column to 60 units?

Actually, weirdly enough, it stopped working. Here is my data: https://gist.github.com/hacker-DOM/8d851bc19e83ade3308c6dbcec7dd9b0 and I am running it with vd --play dom_gho_sort_by_stargazers_file.vd dom_gho.csv. I have double checked and the names are equal ('stargazerCount' == 'stargazerCount')

I get no "stargazerCount" column | replay cancelled.

What happens if you add a wait between statements like -w 0.2?

Hey @saulpw , it just doesn't work. I've created an page to track this issue: #1951.
