A fast CSV command line toolkit written in Rust.
Available commands
- cat - Concatenate CSV files by row or by column.
- count - Count the rows in a CSV file. (Instantaneous with an index.)
- fixlengths - Force a CSV file to have same-length records by either padding or truncating them.
- flatten - A flattened view of CSV records. Useful for viewing one record at a time. e.g.,
xsv slice -i 5 data.csv | xsv flatten
. - fmt - Reformat CSV data with different delimiters, record terminators or quoting rules. (Supports ASCII delimited data.)
- frequency - Build frequency tables of each column in CSV data. (Uses parallelism to go faster if an index is present.)
- headers - Show the headers of CSV data. Or show the intersection of all headers between many CSV files.
- index - Create an index for a CSV file. This is very quick and provides constant time indexing into the CSV file.
- input - Read CSV data with exotic quoting/escaping rules.
- join - Inner, outer and cross joins. Uses a simple hash index to make it fast.
- partition - Partition CSV data based on a column value.
- sample - Randomly draw rows from CSV data using reservoir sampling (i.e., use memory proportional to the size of the sample).
- reverse - Reverse order of rows in CSV data.
- search - Run a regex over CSV data. Applies the regex to each field individually and shows only matching rows.
- select - Select or re-order columns from CSV data.
- slice - Slice rows from any part of a CSV file. When an index is present, this only has to parse the rows in the slice (instead of all rows leading up to the start of the slice).
- sort - Sort CSV data.
- split - Split one CSV file into many CSV files of N chunks.
- stats - Show basic types and statistics of each column in the CSV file. (i.e., mean, standard deviation, median, range, etc.)
- table - Show aligned output of any CSV data using elastic tabstops.
