This command is using the "tsv-filter" tool to filter a TSV (tab-separated values) file. Let's break down the command:

"tsv-filter": It is the name of the tool being used. This tool allows filtering TSV files based on specific criteria.
"--str-${select}": This is an option for the tsv-filter tool. It specifies the type of filtering to be performed. The exact meaning of "${select}" depends on the tool's documentation or usage, as it might be a placeholder for a specific value or a variable.
"${column_number}:${string}": This part specifies the column number and the string to filter on. "${column_number}" is a placeholder for the column number within the TSV file that needs to be checked. "${string}" is a placeholder for the specific string or pattern that is being searched for within the specified column.
"${path-to-tsv_file}": This is the path or location of the TSV file that needs to be filtered. It could be a filename with the complete path or just the filename if it is in the same directory.

Overall, this command is using the "tsv-filter" tool to filter a TSV file, using a specific string within a particular column to select and extract the matching rows.
