=head1 NAME

App::CSVUtils::csv_pick_fields - Select one or more random fields from CSV

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 1.036 of App::CSVUtils::csv_pick_fields (from Perl distribution App-CSVUtils), released on 2025-02-04.

=head1 FUNCTIONS


=head2 csv_pick_fields

Usage:

 csv_pick_fields(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Select one or more random fields from CSV.

Examples:

=over

=item * Pick 2 random fields row from CSV:

 csv_pick_fields(input_filename => "file.csv");

=back

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

=over 4

=item * B<inplace> => I<true>

Output to the same file as input.

Normally, you output to a different file than input. If you try to output to the
same file (C<-o INPUT.csv -O>) you will clobber the input file; thus the utility
prevents you from doing it. However, with this C<--inplace> option, you can
output to the same file. Like perl's C<-i> option, this will first output to a
temporary file in the same directory as the input file then rename to the final
file at the end. You cannot specify output file (C<-o>) when using this option,
but you can specify backup extension with C<-b> option.

Some caveats:

=over

=item * if input file is a symbolic link, it will be replaced with a regular file;

=item * renaming (implemented using C<rename()>) can fail if input filename is too long;

=item * value specified in C<-b> is currently not checked for acceptable characters;

=item * things can also fail if permissions are restrictive;

=back

=item * B<inplace_backup_ext> => I<str> (default: "")

Extension to add for backup of input file.

In inplace mode (C<--inplace>), if this option is set to a non-empty string, will
rename the input file using this extension as a backup. The old existing backup
will be overwritten, if any.

=item * B<input_escape_char> => I<str>

Specify character to escape value in field in input CSV, will be passed to Text::CSV_XS.

Defaults to C<\\> (backslash). Overrides C<--input-tsv> option.

=item * B<input_filename> => I<filename> (default: "-")

Input CSV file.

Use C<-> to read from stdin.

Encoding of input file is assumed to be UTF-8.

=item * B<input_header> => I<bool> (default: 1)

Specify whether input CSV has a header row.

By default, the first row of the input CSV will be assumed to contain field
names (and the second row contains the first data row). When you declare that
input CSV does not have header row (C<--no-input-header>), the first row of the
CSV is assumed to contain the first data row. Fields will be named C<field1>,
C<field2>, and so on.

=item * B<input_quote_char> => I<str>

Specify field quote character in input CSV, will be passed to Text::CSV_XS.

Defaults to C<"> (double quote). Overrides C<--input-tsv> option.

=item * B<input_sep_char> => I<str>
