recs-fromsplit

recs-fromsplit --help-all

 Help from: --help-basic:
 Usage: recs-fromsplit <args> [<files>]
    Each line of input (or lines of <files>) is split on provided delimiter to produce an output record. Keys are named numerically
    (0, 1, etc.) or as given by --key.
 
 Arguments:
    --delim|-d <delim>           Delimiter to use for splitting input lines (default
    --key|-k <key>               Comma separated list of key names. May be specified multiple times, may be key specs
    --header                     Take key names from the first line of input.
    --strict                     Delimiter is not treated as a regex
    --filename-key|fk <keyspec>  Add a key with the source filename (if no filename is applicable will put NONE)
 
   Help Options:
       --help-all       Output all help for this script
       --help           This help screen
       --help-keyspecs  Help on keyspecs, a way to index deeply and with regexes
 
 Examples:
    Parse space separated keys x and y.
       recs-fromsplit --key x,y --delim ' '
    Parse comma separated keys a, b, and c.
       recs-fromsplit --key a,b,c

   KEY SPECS
    A key spec is short way of specifying a field with prefixes or regular expressions, it may also be nested into hashes and
    arrays. Use a '/' to nest into a hash and a '#NUM' to index into an array (i.e. #2)
 
    An example is in order, take a record like this:
 
      {"biz":["a","b","c"],"foo":{"bar 1":1},"zap":"blah1"}
      {"biz":["a","b","c"],"foo":{"bar 1":2},"zap":"blah2"}
      {"biz":["a","b","c"],"foo":{"bar 1":3},"zap":"blah3"}
 
    In this case a key spec of 'foo/bar 1' would have the values 1,2, and 3 in the respective records.
 
    Similarly, 'biz/#0' would have the value of 'a' for all 3 records
 
    You can also prefix key specs with '@' to engage the fuzzy matching logic
 
    Fuzzy matching works like this in order, first key to match wins
      1. Exact match ( eq )
      2. Prefix match ( m/^/ )
      3. Match anywehre in the key (m//)
 
    So, in the above example '@b/#2', the 'b' portion would expand to 'biz' and 2 would be the index into the array, so all records
    would have the value of 'c'
 
    Simiarly, @f/b would have values 1, 2, and 3
 
    You can escape / with a \. For example, if you have a record:
    {"foo/bar":2}
 
    You can address that key with foo\/bar
