<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580722 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/command/">command</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/commandline/">commandline</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/data/">data</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/dsv/">dsv</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/file/">file</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utilities/">utilities</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utility/">utility</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to read and process delimiter-separated values (DSV) data with a Python command-line program. It provides two ways of specifying the delimiter character, by an ASCII character or an ASCII code, which makes it more flexible than allowing only a character. It allows the DSV data to be specified as one or more filenames on the command line, or given via the standard input of the program.</p>
