Command line tool to easily filter delimited text files on a couple of values. Reads in a file, outputs to sdtdin.
Usage:
-column int
the column to be used for filtering, starting at 0
-csv
assume that the file is a csv file as defined in RFC 4180 (handles quoted fields)
-delimiter string
the column delimiter character (default ",")
-file string
path to the file to be filtered
-filter string
comma separated list of values to be filtered on
-limit int
limit the number of filtered lines that are output (if zero, no limit)
-partial
use partial search instead of exact match
-peek
peek at the first 10 lines, ignore all other options, make output pretty, show column numbers
-version
display version number and exit
Use -peek to peak at the first 10 lines of the file with pretty formatting and numbered columns. If you want to retain original file formatting just use -limit 10 instead.
On Windows, this tool is distributed via scoop (see scoop.sh).
First, you need to add my bucket:
scoop bucket add maciak https://github.com/maciakl/bucket
scoop update
Next simply run:
scoop install sieve
If you don't want to use scoop you can simply download the executable from the release page and extract it somewhere in your path.
