csvprintf is a command-line utility designed to parse and process CSV files with precision. It allows users to extract specific columns using printf-style formatting, making it ideal for data manipulation and reporting. The tool handles complex CSV structures, including quoted fields and custom delimiters, providing a robust alternative to basic text processing tools.

  • Support for custom delimiters and quoting rules
  • Efficient parsing of large CSV files
  • Handles complex CSV structures
  • Simple command-line interface
