README
[](https://crates.io/crates/anon-csv-cli)
A tool to anonymise CSV files, providing various options to substitute real data with plausable fake data.
## Installation
Using Cargo (which you can install via https://rustup.rs):
```
cargo install anon-csv-cli
```
Or via download - the binary will fit your platform:
```sh
curl -LSfs https://japaric.github.io/trust/install.sh | \
sh -s -- --git byron/anon-csv-cli --crate anon-csv
```
## Usage
```
curl https://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/csv/addresses.csv > addresses.csv
anon-csv ./addresses.csv 0:name.first_name 1:name.last_name 2:address.street_name 3:address.city 4:address.state_abbr 5:address.zip
```
Use the `--header` flag to ignore the first line, usually the header, and the `--delimiter ` flag
to use a different field delimiter. The latter defaults to `,`.
## Works well with XSV
XSV is a tool to perform various operations on CSV files. It can be used in conjunction with this one for additional
processing.

## Available fake data types
The fake data is provided by the [`fake`](https://docs.rs/crate/fake) crate.
