Description ↩

Replace the value of a cell specified by its row and column.

For example we have the following CSV file named items.csv:

item,color shoes,blue flashlight,gray

To output the data with the color of the shoes as green instead of blue, run:

$ qsv edit items.csv color 0 green

The following is returned as output:

item,color shoes,green flashlight,gray

You may also choose to specify the column name by its index (in this case 1). Specifying a column as a number is prioritized by index rather than name. If there is no newline (\n) at the end of the input data, it may be added to the output.

Usage ↩

qsv edit [options] <input> <column> <row> <value>
qsv edit --help
