Lib.rs

A tool to anonymise CSV files, providing various options to substitute real data with plausable fake data.

Installation

Using Cargo (which you can install via https://rustup.rs):

cargo install anon-csv-cli

Or via download - the binary will fit your platform:

curl -LSfs https://japaric.github.io/trust/install.sh | \
    sh -s -- --git byron/anon-csv-cli --crate anon-csv

Usage

curl https://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/csv/addresses.csv > addresses.csv
anon-csv ./addresses.csv  0:name.first_name 1:name.last_name 2:address.street_name 3:address.city 4:address.state_abbr 5:address.zip

Use the --header flag to ignore the first line, usually the header, and the --delimiter <other delimiter> flag to use a different field delimiter. The latter defaults to ,.

Works well with XSV

XSV is a tool to perform various operations on CSV files. It can be used in conjunction with this one for additional processing.
