cmdsxform

cmdsxform is a command-line utility designed for transforming data files. Its primary function is to read data from a specified input file and apply a series of defined transformations before writing the modified data to an output file. The transformations are typically specified through a configuration or script file, allowing for flexible and repeatable data manipulation.

The utility supports various data formats, though its specific capabilities depend on its implementation and compiled modules. Common transformations might include data filtering, column selection, reordering, value substitution, aggregation, and basic arithmetic operations. The exact syntax and available options for defining these transformations vary but often involve pattern matching, conditional logic, and function calls.

cmdsxform is often used in data processing pipelines, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, and for preparing datasets for analysis or import into other systems. Its command-line nature makes it suitable for automation and integration with scripting languages like Bash. Users typically invoke cmdsxform with arguments specifying the input file, output file, and the transformation script. Error handling and logging mechanisms are usually included to help diagnose issues during the transformation process.
