Soliciting FAQ material #74

This will become a new page within http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc |
I would say chaining together several statements would be a good FAQ. group by, count and give a sum on the last column. for instance... This isn't working |
@jungle-boogie please let me know how this helps: |
nice work! What's the difference between |
icsv means csv input. ocsv means csv output. csv means both. more info at |
Hi, I just wanted to note that the background image containing text makes actual site text hard to read (not just on the FAQ page). |
Hi @helix84, What do you think would be a more suitable background? |
@helix84 there are a few options here ... I can lighten the background image with content as-is; lighten the text layer of the image, or remove it entirely; or remove the entire background image. The latter would sadden my internal amateur graphic designer, but legilibility must win out for technical writing. ;) |
I'm now looking at the site on a different screen so I may be mistaken, but it seems to me you lightened the background. It's much more legible now. I now see another issue - 3 scrollbars (menu, content, site). |
No I haven't changed the background. Must be your screen which is why I particularly value your feedback -- it needs to be legible for everyone. There is intended to be separate scrolling for the left navpane & the main body. But I'm far from being a CSS expert. It's imperfect for me & I'm tempted to have just a single scroll ... especially if it behaves worse for other folks ... can you include a screenshot so I can see what the issue is? Thank you!! :) |

You can change your == to !=, < to >=, and so on. But adding a -x to negate Miller's filter will print matching records, but can it be used to exclude — |

Hi @johnkerl, excellent work on the exclude! I may be missing something really obvious but it seems that I can't get the output in csv format, just opprint. If you take the sample data from here: Do this: And now this: I don't get any data even though my file is ascii: Any variation to include csv (
Looks like the filter works correct, though. |
When you do When you specify CSV format, then the field names are taken from the CSV header line and the field values are taken from the subsequent data lines. With CSV format, there are nine records in the file, your third column is named

That gave me a hint to what I was trying to do, I just didn't take it far enough. This is what I was trying to accomplish: |
No updates in a year and a half -- closing this as it's not an effective avenue for people to use. |
What I have so far:
mlr put '$y=string($x);$z=$y.$y'
gives(error)
