Negative indices when specifying fields #55

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi. A feature request - please could you make it possible to specify fields 
using negative indices. So to exclude final two columns from a csv file, I 
would write something like

    csvfix exclude -f n-1,n test.csv

I realise one risk with this is it assumes the csv has the same number of 
columns n on each line

Added -rf flag to exclude command to do this - see rev ad1cd112c651.
