Csvsql is a project I started for my BSc’s final year software project. It is written in Perl and can be used to access information in csv files in the same way you would access a table in a database. This means you can use SQL queries, with each common seperated value as a field in a column.

Traditionally in order to access specific information from a csv file it can take considerable use of regular expressions, and awk commands. What if you only wanted to take out a handful of lines from a large file? It nearly becomes easier to do it manually than to figure out the expressions needed in awk.
