qsv 0.2.0

A tool designed for rapid CSV file processing and filtering, specifically designed for log analysis.

Quilter-CSV

A tool provides elastic and rapid filtering for efficient analysis of huge CSV files like eventlogs.

[!NOTE]
This project is in the early stages of development. Please be aware that frequent changes and updates are likely to occur.

Description

Archtecture

This tool processes csv(comma-separated values) file by connecting three processes: initializer, chainable functions, and finalizer.
For example, you can load a csv file in the initializer, use a chainable functions to filter, sort, and select columns, and then output the resulting csv file in the finalizer.

$ qsv {{INITIALIZER}} {{Arguments}} - {{CHAINABLE}} {{Arguments}} - {{FINALIZER}} {{Arguments}}

Each process must be explicitly separated by a “-”.

Usage

e.g. Below is an example of reading a CSV file, extracting rows that contain 4624 in the EventID column, and displaying the top 3 rows them sorted by the Timestamp column.

$ qsv load Security.csv - isin 'Event ID' 4624 - sort 'Date and Time' - head 3
shape: (3, 5)
