# oxfordcsv

## About

Why use plain old CSV when you can use [Oxford CSV][tweet]?

Compatible with both Python 3. Tested on 3.9.19.

## Usage

To use _oxfordcsv_, simple pipe CSV data into it: `python3 oxfordcsv.py < infile.csv`

```

$ cat sample.csv

id,name,address,city,state

1,Alice,213 Elk St.,New York,NY

2,Bob,84924 1st Ave.,Boulder,CO

3,Cheryl,99376 Apple Pkwy. Apt. #1632,Los Angeles,CA

4,Dean,153 8th St. So.,Houston,TX

$ python3 oxfordcsv.py < sample.csv > oxford.csv

$ cat oxford.csv

id,name,address,city,and state

1,Alice,213 Elk St.,New York,and NY

2,Bob,84924 1st Ave.,Boulder,and CO

3,Cheryl,99376 Apple Pkwy. Apt. #1632,Los Angeles,and CA

4,Dean,153 8th St. So.,Houston,and TX

$

```

For those on PowerShell, you can run it like this:

```

PS D:\Projects\oxfordcsv> Get-Content .\sample.csv | python.exe .\oxfordcsv.py | Out-File oxford.csv

```

Do you want stricter adherence to the rules of the English language? The `-E` 

argument will cause extra spaces to be added:

```

$ python3 oxfordcsv.py -E < sample.csv

id, name, address, city, and state

1, Alice, 213 Elk St., New York, and NY

2, Bob, 84924 1st Ave., Boulder, and CO

3, Cheryl, 99376 Apple Pkwy. Apt. #1632, Los Angeles, and CA

4, Dean, 153 8th St. So., Houston, and TX

```
