CSV Merger
---
## Overview
This Python script merges multiple CSV files by appending rows to a single output CSV file. The script also processes each row to reformat the date and filter the columns before merging.

## Prerequisites
- Python 3.6 or later
## Installation
1. Clone this repository or download the script `csv_merger.py`.
2. Make sure you have Python installed, or download it from [Python's official website](https://www.python.org/).
## Usage
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing the script. Then, run the following command:
```bash
python csv_merger.py [OPTIONS]
```
## Options
- `-n, --name [FILENAME]`: Specifies the name of the output file (default: `merged.csv`).
- `-d, --delete`: Deletes input files after merging (default: False).
## Example
Let's say you have a directory `input` with the following CSV files:
- `file1.csv`
- `file2.csv`
After running the command:
```bash
python csv_merger.py -n "final_version" -d
```
An output file named `final_version.csv` will be created in the ouput directory, and the input files will be deleted if the `-d` flag is set.
