Slicing

:v: Slice and dice your csv files for further analysis.

Reason for making slicing

No database required, mom!

Data slicing and cleaning usually happen within a database like mysql or postgresql. And you will need to use sql command to manipulate the data.

I thought why can't I slice and dice them on the go. And take a subset of the data and peek it through excel or a text-editor.

Hence, slicing is created to make it easy to slice csv files from terminal.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'slicing'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install slicing

Usage

slicing mask - mask the column with md5.

slicing subset - return a subset of 10 lines of the bigger csv file.

slicing head - return the header of the csv file.

slicing rm - remove the column from csv file.

slicing first - return the first line of data of the csv file.

slicing count - return the total row and column of the csv file.
