[FILE [FILE ...]]
Stack up the rows from multiple CSV files, optionally adding a grouping value.
positional arguments:
FILE The CSV file(s) to operate on. If omitted, will accept
input as piped data via STDIN.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-g GROUPS, --groups GROUPS
A comma-separated list of values to add as "grouping
factors", one for each CSV being stacked. These are
added to the output as a new column. You may specify a
name for the new column using the -n flag.
-n GROUP_NAME, --group-name GROUP_NAME
A name for the grouping column, e.g. "year". Only used
when also specifying -g.
--filenames Use the filename of each input file as its grouping
value. When specified, -g will be ignored.
See also: Arguments common to all tools.
WARNING:
If you redirect output to an input file like csvstack file.csv > file.csv, the file will grow
indefinitely.
