csvstat: Show all stats for columns 2 and 4.
$ csvstat -c ${2,4} ${data-csv}
try on your machine

The command "csvstat -c ${2,4} ${data-csv}" is used to analyze and display specific columns in a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "csvstat": It is a command-line utility or program that is designed to provide statistical analysis and summary of CSV files.

  • "-c": This option specifies that we want to display specific columns from the CSV file.

  • "${2,4}": This is a parameter or argument passed to the "-c" option. It indicates the range of columns to be displayed. In this case, columns 2 and 4 are selected.

  • "${data-csv}": This is another parameter passed to the command. It specifies the CSV file name or its path/location. "data-csv" is just a placeholder and should be replaced with the actual name or path of the CSV file you want to analyze.

Overall, the command will extract and display columns 2 and 4 from a CSV file specified by the "data-csv" parameter. The output will provide statistical analysis and summary of the data in those columns.
