                    the <--formatstr> template.

    * subcommand is multi-column capable.

OPERATIONS (multi-column capable)
Multiple operations can be applied, with the comma-delimited operation series
applied in order:

  trim => Trim the cell
  trim,upper => Trim the cell, then transform to uppercase
  lower,simdln => Lowercase the cell, then compute the normalized
      Damerau-Levenshtein similarity to --comparand

Operations support multi-column transformations. Just make sure the
number of transformed columns with the --rename option is the same.
For example, to trim and fold to uppercase the col1,col2 and col3 columns &
rename them to newcol1,newcol2 and newcol3:

  qsv apply operations trim,upper col1,col2,col3 -r newcol1,newcol2,newcol3 file.csv

It has 40 supported operations:

  * len: Return string length
  * lower: Transform to lowercase
  * upper: Transform to uppercase
  * squeeze: Compress consecutive whitespaces
  * squeeze0: Remove whitespace
  * trim: Trim (drop whitespace left & right of the string)
  * ltrim: Left trim whitespace
  * rtrim: Right trim whitespace
  * mtrim: Trims --comparand matches left & right of the string (Rust trim_matches)
  * mltrim: Left trim --comparand matches (Rust trim_start_matches)
  * mrtrim: Right trim --comparand matches (Rust trim_end_matches)
  * strip_prefix: Removes specified prefix in --comparand
  * strip_suffix: Remove specified suffix in --comparand
  * escape - escape (Rust escape_default)
  * encode62: base62 encode
  * decode62: base62 decode
  * encode64: base64 encode
  * decode64: base64 decode
  * crc32: crc32 checksum
  * replace: Replace all matches of a pattern (using --comparand)
      with a string (using --replacement) (Rust replace)
  * regex_replace: Replace all regex matches in --comparand w/ --replacement.
      Specify <NULL> as --replacement to remove matches.
  * titlecase - capitalizes English text using Daring Fireball titlecase style
      https://daringfireball.net/2008/05/title_case
  * censor: profanity filter. Add additional comma-delimited profanities with --comparand.
  * censor_check: check if profanity is detected (boolean).
      Add additional comma-delimited profanities with -comparand.
  * censor_count: count of profanities detected.
      Add additional comma-delimited profanities with -comparand.
  * round: Round numeric values to the specified number of decimal places using
      Midpoint Nearest Even Rounding Strategy AKA "Bankers Rounding."
      Specify the number of decimal places with --formatstr (default: 3).
  * thousands: Add thousands separators to numeric values.
      Specify the separator policy with --formatstr (default: comma). The valid policies are:
      comma, dot, space, underscore, hexfour (place a space every four hex digits) and
      indiancomma (place a comma every two digits, except the last three digits).
      The decimal separator can be specified with --replacement (default: '.')
  * currencytonum: Gets the numeric value of a currency. Supports currency symbols
      (e.g. $,¥,£,€,֏,₱,₽,₪,₩,ƒ,฿,₫) and strings (e.g. USD, EUR, RMB, JPY, etc.).
      Recognizes point, comma and space separators. Is "permissive" by default, meaning it
      will allow no or non-ISO currency symbols. To enforce strict parsing, which will require
      a valid ISO currency symbol, set the --formatstr to "strict".
  * numtocurrency: Convert a numeric value to a currency. Specify the currency symbol
      with --comparand. Automatically rounds values to two decimal places. Specify
      "euro" formatting (e.g. 1.000,00 instead of 1,000.00 ) by setting --formatstr to "euro".
      Specify conversion rate by setting --replacement to a number.
  * gender_guess: Guess the gender of a name.
  * copy: Mark a column for copying
  * simdl: Damerau-Levenshtein similarity to --comparand
  * simdln: Normalized Damerau-Levenshtein similarity to --comparand (between 0.0 & 1.0)
  * simjw: Jaro-Winkler similarity to --comparand (between 0.0 & 1.0)
  * simsd: Sørensen-Dice similarity to --comparand (between 0.0 & 1.0)
  * simhm: Hamming distance to --comparand. Num of positions characters differ.
  * simod: Optimal String Alignment (OSA) Distance to --comparand.
  * eudex: Multi-lingual sounds like --comparand (boolean)
       Tested on English, Catalan, German, Spanish, Swedish and Italian dictionaries.
       It supports all C1 letters (e.g. ü, ö, æ, ß, é, etc.) and takes their sound into account.
       It should work on other European languages that use the Latin alphabet.
  * sentiment: Normalized VADER sentiment score (English only - between -1.0 to 1.0).
  * whatlang: Language Detection for 87 supported languages, with default confidence threshold
       of 0.9, which can be overridden by assigning 0.0 to 1.0 to --comparand.
       If language detection confidence is below the threshold, it will still show the best language
       guess, followed by the confidence score, ending with a question mark.
       If you want to always displays the confidence score, end the --comparand value with a
       question mark (e.g. 0.9?)

EMPTYREPLACE (multi-column capable)
Replace empty cells with <--replacement> string.
Non-empty cells are not modified. See the `fill` command for more complex empty field operations.


DYNFMT
Dynamically constructs a new column from other columns using the <--formatstr> template.
The template can contain arbitrary characters. To insert a column value, enclose the
column name in curly braces, replacing all non-alphanumeric characters with underscores.

If you need to dynamically construct a column with more complex formatting requirements and
computed values, check out the py command to take advantage of Python's f-string formatting.


CALCCONV
Parse and evaluate math expressions into a new column, with support for units and conversions.
The math expression is built dynamically using the <--formatstr> template, similar to the DYNFMT
subcommand, with the addition that if the literal '<UNIT>' is found at the end of the template, the
inferred unit will be appended to the result.

For a complete list of supported units, constants, operators and functions, see https://docs.rs/cpc
