Feature request: Allow tailing a CSV

[cool-RR]

I want to load a CSV as a table, but as new lines are added, I want the table to automatically update. Is that possible?

There is nothing built-in at the moment.

Most Unixes have a watch command (install with brew install watch on macOS) that you could use:

watch rich --csv foobar.csv

Otherwise, it is common to use tail -f or less +F to watch files as new lines are added. This will not work perfectly with CSV files of course, but it's better than nothing. See for example:
