csvcut:tldr:99012

The command "csvcut -c ${1,3} ${data-csv}" is a command-line instruction to manipulate CSV (Comma Separated Values) files using the csvcut utility.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

• "csvcut": It is the command used to cut out specific columns from a CSV file. It is usually a part of the csvkit package or a similar utility.
• "-c ${1,3}": This option specifies the columns to be included in the output. ${1,3} is a "range expression" that tells csvcut to include columns 1 and 3. The numbers can be altered to include different columns.
• "${data-csv}": This is the input CSV file that needs to be processed. "data-csv" is a placeholder representing the actual filename or path of the CSV file you want to manipulate. Replace it with the appropriate value.

So, in summary, the command cuts out columns 1 and 3 from a CSV file specified by the filename or path stored in the variable ${data-csv}.
