NAME

csv-map - Return result of Perl code for every row

VERSION

This document describes version 1.024 of csv-map (from Perl distribution App-CSVUtils), released on 2023-04-01.

SYNOPSIS

csv-map --help (or -h, -?)

csv-map --version (or -v)

csv-map [--add-newline|--no-add-newline|--noadd-newline] [--debug|--log-level=level|--quiet|--trace|--verbose] [--eval=any|--eval-json=json|-e=any] [--format=name|--json] [--hash|-H] [--input-escape-char=str] [--input-header|--no-input-header|--noinput-header] [--input-quote-char=str] [--input-sep-char=str] [--input-tsv] [--(no)naked-res] [--page-result[=program]|--view-result[=program]] -- [input_filename]

See examples in the "EXAMPLES" section.

DESCRIPTION

This is like Perl's map performed over rows of CSV. In $_, your Perl code will find the CSV row as an arrayref (or, if you specify -H, as a hashref). $main::row is also set to the row (always as arrayref). $main::rownum contains the row number (2 means the first data row). $main::csv is the Text::CSV_XS object. $main::fields_idx is also available for additional information.

Your code is then free to return a string based on some operation against these data. This utility will then print out the resulting string.

OPTIONS

* marks required options.

Main options

--eval-json=s, -e

Perl code (JSON-encoded).

See --eval.

--eval=s*

Perl code.

--hash, -H

Provide row in $_ as hashref instead of arrayref.

--no-add-newline

Do not add newline to each output.

Input options

--input-escape-char=s

Specify character to escape value in field in input CSV, will be passed to Text::CSV_XS.

Defaults to \\ (backslash). Overrides --input-tsv option.

--input-filename=s

Input CSV file.

Default value:

"-"

Use - to read from stdin.

Encoding of input file is assumed to be UTF-8.

Can also be specified as the 1st command-line argument.

--input-quote-char=s

Specify field quote character in input CSV, will be passed to Text::CSV_XS.

Defaults to " (double quote). Overrides --input-tsv option.

--input-sep-char=s

Specify field separator character in input CSV, will be passed to Text::CSV_XS.

Defaults to , (comma). Overrides --input-tsv option.

--input-tsv

Inform that input file is in TSV (tab-separated) format instead of CSV.

Overriden by --input-sep-char, --input-quote-char, --input-escape-char options. If one of those options is specified, then --input-tsv will be ignored.

--no-input-header

Specify that input CSV does not have a header row.

By default, the first row of the input CSV will be assumed to contain field names (and the second row contains the first data row). When you declare that input CSV does not have header row (--no-input-header), the first row of the CSV is assumed to contain the first data row. Fields will be named field1, field2, and so on.

Logging options

--debug

Shortcut for --log-level=debug.

--log-level=s

Set log level.

By default, these log levels are available (in order of increasing level of importance, from least important to most): trace, debug, info, warn/warning, error, fatal. By default, the level is usually set to warn, which means that log statements with level info and less important levels will not be shown. To increase verbosity, choose info, debug, or trace.

For more details on log level and logging, as well as how new logging levels can be defined or existing ones modified, see Log::ger.

--quiet

Shortcut for --log-level=error.

--trace

Shortcut for --log-level=trace.

--verbose

Shortcut for --log-level=info.

Output options

--format=s

Choose output format, e.g. json, text.

Default value:

undef

Output can be displayed in multiple formats, and a suitable default format is chosen depending on the application and/or whether output destination is interactive terminal (i.e. whether output is piped). This option specifically chooses an output format.

--json

Set output format to json.

--naked-res

When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.

Default value:

0

By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:

[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]

The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use --naked-res so you just get:

[1,2,3]
--page-result

Filter output through a pager.

This option will pipe the output to a specified pager program. If pager program is not specified, a suitable default e.g. less is chosen.

--view-result

View output using a viewer.

This option will first save the output to a temporary file, then open a viewer program to view the temporary file. If a viewer program is not chosen, a suitable default, e.g. the browser, is chosen.

Other options

--help, -h, -?

Display help message and exit.

--version, -v

Display program's version and exit.

COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

complete -C csv-map csv-map

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

complete csv-map 'p/*/`csv-map`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.

EXAMPLES

Create SQL insert statements (escaping is left as an exercise for users)

% csv-map -He '"INSERT INTO mytable (id,amount) VALUES ($_->{id}, $_->{amount});"' file.csv

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
