csvstat: Show the number of unique values in the "name" column.
$ csvstat -c ${name} --unique ${data-csv}
try on your machine
The command "csvstat -c ${name} --unique ${data-csv}" is used to analyze a specific column in a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file and display the unique values in that column.
Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:
- "csvstat" is the name of the command-line tool being used. It is typically used for analyzing and summarizing CSV files.
- "-c ${name}" specifies the column to analyze. The placeholder "${name}" should be replaced with the actual name or index of the desired column in the CSV file.
- "--unique" is an option that instructs csvstat to only display unique values in the specified column.
- "${data-csv}" represents the path or file name of the CSV file to be analyzed. The placeholder "${data-csv}" should be replaced with the actual file path or name.
When you run this command, csvstat will read the specified CSV file, analyze the specified column, and output a list of unique values in that column.
