csvclean

$ csvclean -n ${bad-csv}

try on your machine

This command refers to executing the "csvclean" tool with a specific argument. Here's a breakdown of each part:

"csvclean": This is the name of the command or utility being run. "csvclean" is a tool commonly used to clean and normalize CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files, which are a common type of file used for storing tabular data.
"-n": This is an option or flag for the "csvclean" command. In this case, the "-n" flag usually stands for "dry run" or "no action". It means that the "csvclean" command will not actually modify the provided CSV file(s), but instead, it will display the changes it would make.
"${bad-csv}": This part is a placeholder or variable representing the path or name of the target CSV file. The "${bad-csv}" notation suggests that it is a variable, and its value needs to be provided before running the command. The actual value would be the specific path or filename of the CSV file that you want to clean with the "csvclean" tool.

To use this command, you would replace "${bad-csv}" with the actual path or filename of the CSV file you want to clean, and then execute it. The "csvclean" tool would perform a dry run and display the changes it would make to the CSV file, without actually modifying it.
