recs-fromcsv
Help from: --help-basic: Usage: recs-fromcsv <args> [<files>] Each line of input (or lines of <files>) is split on csv to produce an output record. Fields are named numerically (0, 1, etc.) or as given by --field. Arguments: --key|k <keys> Comma separated list of field names. May be specified multiple times, may be key specs --header Take field names from the first line of input --strict Do not trim whitespaces, allow loose quoting (quotes inside qutoes), or allow the use of escape characters when not strictly needed. (not recommended, for most cases) --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 csv separated fields x and y. recs-fromcsv --field x,y Parse data with a header line specifying fields recs-fromcsv --header Help from: --help-keyspecs: 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
