The command csvgrep
is a command-line utility used to search and filter data in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files. This command specifically searches for a specific string in a particular column of the CSV file.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
csvgrep
: This is the command itself.-c ${1}
: This specifies which column to search in.${1}
is a placeholder for the column number or name. For example, if you want to search in the second column, you would replace${1}
with2
.-m ${string_to_match}
: This specifies the string to search for.${string_to_match}
is a placeholder for the string.${data-csv}
: This is the name of the CSV file on which the search is performed.${data-csv}
is a placeholder for the actual filename.
To use this command, you need to replace ${1}
with the column number or name you want to search in, replace ${string_to_match}
with the actual string you want to search for, and replace ${data-csv}
with the name of your CSV file.
For example, if you want to search for the string "example" in the third column of a file called "data.csv", you would use the command:
csvgrep -c 3 -m "example" data.csv
