%silent, %s

Set CSV Processing Mode to Silent

Description

Normally, when started, csvfox provides a lot of information on the console screen. It will display the file names, the interpreted commands, and will visualize the ongoing processing of CSV rows, any occurring problems, and states the finishing of the process.

You can inhibit this with the %silent command. In this case, csvfox will not give out anything on the console, but it will write all information solely into the log file.

Pattern

%silent
%s

Usage Examples

csvfox infile.csv +d=, -d=; %silent outfile.csv: This changes the field delimiter of the input file, which uses a comma, to a semi-colon. No information will be printed on the console until the processing is done.
csvfox infile.csv -set[Weight]="[*] kg" %s outfile.csv: This appends the string " kg" to the field "Weight". No information will be displayed on the console.

Hint

If the output file name is not given, csvfox assumes that the data output will be targeted to the console instead. This allows piping (|) and forwarding (>, >>).
In this case, there is also no processing information display on the console because this would corrupt the data output. An explicit %silent command is not necessary here.
