csv-exec 0.2.0

csv-exec runs a command for each line of a CSV file. The command's arguments are replaced by the value of the CSV columns. The output is written in a new column.

$ cat test.csv
Id,Dir
24,example.com/a
68,example.com/b

$ csv-exec 'echo $1/$0' <test.csv
Id,Dir,Result
24,example.com/a,example.com/a/24
68,example.com/b,example.com/b/68

The regex that parses the arguments can be changed:

$ csv-exec 'echo €1/€0' --arg-regex '€([0-9]+)' <test.csv
Id,Dir,Result
24,example.com/a,example.com/a/24
68,example.com/b,example.com/b/68
