I was very excited to discover CSVtk and delighted that I could create data pipelines.
However, my use-case requires me to calculate date/time intervals to see how long patients wait for surgery (hours for emergencies, days for elective surgery). I would like to append new fields with the calculations.
Does anyone know of a good utility that allows me to calculate date/time differences (on a Windows machine) in a pipeline?
Good equates to:
Free, with compiled executables for Windows.
Read and write to stdin/stdout.
Works at the command line and in a batch file, without having to "escape" multiple characters, as this is the nightmare of trying to use awk at the command line in windows.
I guess I might need several functions:
now(output-format)
date2str(data,output-format)
str2date(data,input-format)
datedif(date1,date2,output-format)
For my current project, I have had to manually edit the source data using Excel, breaking automation - I feel dirty!
