Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is there a way to handle commas inside the data when generating a csv file from shell script? Post 303029299 by joeyg on Thursday 24th of January 2019 01:46:35 PM

I think in sqlplus there is a colsep setting.
set colsep |
to set to a | pipe character

you can then do a manual export into Excel, specifying the | as delimiter or
edit(replace) the , to ; and then the | to , --> and you would have a csv file with ; between elements

Otherwise, perhaps format your output inside you SELECT statement.

PYMETRICS(1)							   User Commands						      PYMETRICS(1)

NAME

       pymetrics - Python source code metrics

SYNOPSIS

       pymetrics [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pymetrics command

       pymetrics  is  a  program that produces metrics for Python programs. Metrics include McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity metric, LoC, %Comments,
       etc. Users can also define their own metrics using data from PyMetrics. PyMetrics optionally outputs to stdout, SQL command files  and  CSV
       files.

OPTIONS

       These  programs	follow	the  usual  GNU  command  line	syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is
       included below.

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -s SQLFILENAME, --sql=SQLFILENAME
	      name of output SQL command file. (Default is metricData.sql)

       -t SQLTOKENTABLENAME, --tokentable=SQLTOKENTABLENAME
	      name of output SQL token table. (Default is metricTokens)

       -m SQLMETRICSTABLENAME, --metricstable=SQLMETRICSTABLENAME

	      File containing list of path names to modules for analysis.

       -i INCLUDEMETRICSSTR, --include=INCLUDEMETRICSSTR
	      list of metrics to include in run. This is a comma separated list of metric module names with no	whitespace.  Optionally,  you  can
	      specify  the  class name of the metric by following the module name with a colon (:) and the metric class name. (Default metrics are
	      'simple:SimpleMetric,mccabe:McCabeMetric,sloc:SLOC Metric'. Default metric class name for metric module 'wxYz' is 'WxYzMetric'  when
	      only module name given -- note capitalized metric class name.)

       -l LIBNAME, --library=LIBNAME
	      user-defined name applied to collection of modules (Default is '')
