static USAGE: &str = r#"
Select columns from CSV data efficiently.
This command lets you manipulate the columns in CSV data. You can re-order,
duplicate, reverse or drop them. Columns can be referenced by index or by
name if there is a header row (duplicate column names can be disambiguated with
more indexing). Column ranges can also be specified. Finally, columns can be
selected using regular expressions.
Examples:
# Select the first and fourth columns
qsv select 1,4
# Select the first 4 columns (by index)
qsv select 1-4
# Select the first 4 columns (by name)
qsv select Header1-Header4
# Ignore the first 2 columns (by range)
qsv select 3-
# Ignore the first 2 columns (by index)
qsv select '!1-2'
# Select the third column named 'Foo':
qsv select 'Foo[2]'
# Select the first and last columns, _ is a special character for the last column:
qsv select 1,_
# Reverse the order of columns:
qsv select _-1
# select columns starting with 'a' (regex)
qsv select /^a/
# select columns with a digit (regex)
qsv select '/^.*\d.*$/'
# remove SSN, account_no and password columns (regex)
qsv select '!/SSN|account_no|password/'
# Sort the columns lexicographically (i.e. by their byte values)
qsv select 1- --sort
# Select some columns and then sort them
qsv select 1,4,5-7 --sort
# Randomly shuffle the columns:
qsv select 1- --random
# Randomly shuffle the columns with a seed
qsv select 1- --random --seed 42
# Select some columns and then shuffle them with a seed:
qsv select 1,4,5-7 --random --seed 42
# Re-order and duplicate columns arbitrarily using different types of selectors
qsv select 3-1,Header3-Header1,Header1,Foo[2],Header1
# Quote column names that conflict with selector syntax:
qsv select '\"Date - Opening\",\"Date - Actual Closing\"'
For more examples, see https://github.com/dathere/qsv/blob/master/tests/test_select.rs.
Usage:
qsv select [options] [--] <selection> [<input>]
qsv select --help
select arguments:
<selection> The columns to select.
You can select columns by index, by name, by range, by regex and
any combination of these. If the first character is '!', the
selection will be inverted. If the selection contains embedded
spaces or characters that conflict with selector syntax, it must
be quoted. See examples above.
select options:
These options only apply to the `select` command, not the `--select` option in other commands.
-R, --random Randomly shuffle the columns in the selection.
--seed <number> Seed for the random number generator.
-S, --sort Sort the selected columns lexicographically,
i.e. by their byte values.
Common options:
-h, --help Display this message
-o, --output <file> Write output to <file> instead of stdout.
-n, --no-headers When set, the first row will not be interpreted
as headers. (i.e., They are not searched, analyzed,
sliced, etc.)
-d, --delimiter <arg> The field delimiter for reading CSV data.
Must be a single character. (default: ,)
