问题:

Lets say I have a csv file like this:

a,b1,12,
a,b1,42,
d,e1,12,
r,12,33,

I want to use grep to return only only the rows where the third column = 12. So it would return:

a,b1,12,
d,e1,12,

but not:

r,12,33,

Any ideas for a regular expression that will allow me to do this?

回答1:

I'd jump straight to awk to test the value exactly

awk -F, '$3 == 12' file.csv

This, and any regexp-based solution, assumes that the values of the first two fields do not contain commas



回答2:

grep "^[^,]\+,[^,]\+,12," file.csv


回答3:

Here's a variation:

egrep "^([^,]+,){2}12," file.csv

The advantage is that you can select the field simply by changing the number enclosed in curly braces without having to add or subtract literal copies of the pattern manually.



回答4:

when you have csv files, where you have distinct delimiters such as commas, use the splitting on field/delimiters approach, not regular expression. Tools to break strings up like awk, Perl/Python does the job easily for you (Perl/Python has support for csv modules for more complex csv parsing)

Perl, 

$ perl -F/,/ -alne  'print if $F[2]==12;' file
a,b1,12,
d,e1,12,

$ awk -F"," '$3==12' file
a,b1,12,
d,e1,12,

or with just the shell

while IFS="," read a b c d
do
    case "$c" in
        12) echo "$a,$b,$c,$d"
    esac
done <"file"


回答5:

Linux tools cannot practically process csv, because quoted fields can contain newline characters according to rfc 1480 Most dedicated utilities are garbage for various reasons.

Here’s a Node.js v7.10+ single-file executable that “just works” and produces converted json objects, one per line. Should run Linux macOS Windows

Usage for a file with header line:

cat infinite.csv | csv1480json --header
{"some header": "field value"}

Without header line:

echo abc | csv1480json
{1: "abc"}

The grep becomes:

grep '3: "12"'

On the irect text you can do

Paste this as csv1480json accessible via your PATH and give executable permissions:

回答6:

csvkit is a great toolkit for stuff like this, especially on the larger scale. After installing csvkit, follow these instructions to isolate the rows you want:

# Find rows that have the value 12 in the 3rd column
> csvgrep -c 3 -m 12 | csvlook

This should prettily print out the rows you want. The full documentation for csvkit (and a well-writen tutorial) can be found here.
