.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Multiple \s-1CSV\s0 or \s-1TSV\s0 \fITextFiles\fR are joined to generate a single text file. The
file names are separated by spaces. The valid file extensions are \fI.csv\fR and \fI.tsv\fR
for comma/semicolon and tab delimited text files respectively. All other file names
are ignored. All the text files in a current directory can be specified by \fI*.csv\fR,
\&\fI*.tsv\fR, or the current directory name. The \fB\-\-indelim\fR option determines the
format of \fITextFiles\fR. Any file which doesn't correspond to the format indicated
by \fB\-\-indelim\fR option is ignored.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-f, \-\-fast\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f, --fast"
In this mode, \fB\-\-indelim\fR and \fB\-q \-\-quote\fR options are ignored. The format of
input and output file(s) are assumed to be similar. And the text lines from \fITextFiles\fR
are simply transferred to output file without any processing.
.IP "\fB\-h, \-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "-h, --help"
Print this help message.
.IP "\fB\-\-indelim\fR \fIcomma | semicolon\fR" 4
.IX Item "--indelim comma | semicolon"
Input delimiter for \s-1CSV\s0 \fITextFile(s)\fR. Possible values: \fIcomma or semicolon\fR.
Default value: \fIcomma\fR. For \s-1TSV\s0 files, this option is ignored and \fItab\fR is used as a
delimiter.
.IP "\fB\-l, \-\-label\fR \fIyes | no\fR" 4
.IX Item "-l, --label yes | no"
First line contains column labels. Possible values: \fIyes or no\fR. Default value: \fIyes\fR.
.IP "\fB\-o, \-\-overwrite\fR" 4
.IX Item "-o, --overwrite"
Overwrite existing files.
.IP "\fB\-\-outdelim\fR \fIcomma | tab | semicolon\fR" 4
.IX Item "--outdelim comma | tab | semicolon"
Output text file delimiter. Possible values: \fIcomma, tab, or semicolon\fR
Default value: \fIcomma\fR.
.IP "\fB\-q, \-\-quote\fR \fIyes | no\fR" 4
.IX Item "-q, --quote yes | no"
Put quotes around column values in output text file. Possible values: \fIyes or
no\fR. Default value: \fIyes\fR.
.IP "\fB\-r, \-\-root\fR \fIrootname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-r, --root rootname"
New text file name is generated using the root: <Root>.<Ext>. Default file
name: <FirstTextFileName>1To<Count>Joined.<Ext>. The csv, and tsv
<Ext> values are used for comma/semicolon, and tab delimited text files
respectively.
.IP "\fB\-w, \-\-workingdir\fR \fIdirname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-w, --workingdir dirname"
Location of working directory. Default: current directory.
