[FEATURE] Restrict columns to be extracted

teobais opened this issue · 3 comments

It happens that we might not need all the listed columns of a wikipedia table.

I imagine this feature's implementation as an extra text field in which user can define the columns to be skipped.

What is your take?

Hello!

It depends on what the use case is. How are you using this tool?

I wrote it to have an interface that would quickly give me the raw data. The post-processing takes place in my spreadsheet application (Excel etc.) In there I add, move or remove columns from the table. But this is only my use case. What is yours?

I am closing this issue due to inactivity of the author.

Sorry, maybe you're right. You can take care of the rest with the usage of excel.
Cheers
