ffe

Extract fields from a flat database file and write to another format.

A configuration file is required to interpret the input and format the output.

• Display all input data using the specified data configuration:

ffe --configuration={path/to/config.ffe} {path/to/input}

• Convert an input file to an output file in a new format:

ffe --output={path/to/output} -c {path/to/config.ffe} {path/to/input}

• Select input structure and print format from definitions in `~/.fferc` config file:

ffe --structure={structure} --print={format} {path/to/input}

• Write only the selected fields:

ffe --field-list="{FirstName,LastName,Age}" -c {path/to/config.ffe} {path/to/input}

• Write only the records that match an expression:

ffe -e "{LastName=Smith}" -c {path/to/config.ffe} {path/to/input}

• Display help:

ffe --help
