Say I have the following csv file:
id,message,time
123,"Sorry, This message
has commas and newlines",2016-03-28T20:26:39
456,"It makes the problem non-trivial",2016-03-28T20:26:41
I want to write a bash command that will return only the time column. i.e.
time
2016-03-28T20:26:39
2016-03-28T20:26:41
What is the most straight forward way to do this? You can assume the availability of standard unix utils such as awk, gawk, cut, grep, etc.
Note the presence of "" which escape , and newline characters which make trivial attempts with
cut -d , -f 3 file.csv
futile.
