The echo command echoes its CSV input to its output. It is intended mainly for debugging, sanity-checking CSVfix itself and as a way of listing CSV files in a standard format. Used with the -sep and -osep flags, it also provides a simple way to change the CSV inter-field separator.

The following example displays the cities.csv file:
csvfix echo data/cities.csv
which produces:
"London","GB"
"Paris","FR"
"Edinburgh","GB"
"Amsterdam","NL"
"Rome","IT"
"Athens","GR"
"Berlin","DE"
To change the inter-field separator to a semicolon, and remove quoting, use:
csvfix echo -smq -osep ';' data/cities.csv
which produces:
London;GB
Paris;FR
Edinurgh;GB
Amsterdam;NL
Rome;IT
Athens;GR
Berlin;DE
