cutcsv - the csv swiss army knife (version 0.2.3)

Usage: cutcsv OPTION... [FILE...]

Print selected CSV fields from each specified FILE to standard output.

Select one or more fields using -c and/or -f. At least one must be selected.

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

        -f    Print the specified comma-separated list of fields or ranges

        -c  Select fields whose column name (value of the first line)

                    matches COLUMN.

        -d    Use CHAR as a delimiter (defaults to ',')

        -D  Use STRING as the output separator (in case of multiple fields).

                    Defaults to the input delimiter.

        -r          Skip one row from the top of the file (header).

        -h          Show this help message.

        -v          Be verbose

Each LIST is made up of one range, or many ranges separated by commas,

in a similar fashion to the UNIX 'cut' program.

Selected input is written in the same order that it is read, and is written

exactly once. Each range is one of:

  N     N'th field, counted from 1

  N-    from N'th field, to end of line

  N-M   from N'th to M'th (included) field

  -M    from first to M'th (included) field
