untangle-csv

Untangle CSV columns

This utility converts this stream:

date,"text/plain, text/html",text/plain,"text/plain, text/html, text/rtf","text/html, text/plain"
2017-02-07,1,2,3,4
2017-02-08,5,6,7,8
2017-02-09,1,0,1,0
2017-02-10,9,0,0,9

into:

date,text/plain,text/html,text/rtf
2017-02-07,10,8,3
2017-02-08,26,20,7
2017-02-09,2,2,1
2017-02-10,18,18,0

Under the hood, it adds the contents of the columns splitted. The columns not repeated will have the same contents - see the date column in the example.
