DEALING WITH NON-STANDARD CSV

The utilities allow you to set input's field separator (`--sep-char`), quote character (`--quote-char`), and escape character (`--escape-char`), so if you have semicolon as the field separator, e.g.:

 name;age;rank
 andi;20;staff
 budi;30;manager
 cinta;17;associate

and you want to sort by age:

 % csv-sort-rows INPUT.CSV --sep-char ';' --by-field age

These parameters will be passed to Text::CSV's attributes with the corresponding names.

Likewise, you can customize output's field separator (`--output-sep-char`), quote character (`--output-quote-char`), and escape character (`--output-escape-char`).

TRANSPOSING

Transposing, like in a two-dimensional matrix, means switching row and colum indices to produce a new CSV where the columns become rows and vice versa. For example:

 name,age
 andi,20
 budi,30
 cinta,17

becomes:

 name,andi,budi,cinta
 age,20,30,17

To do this:

 % csv-transpose INPUT.CSV
