• Print indices and names of all columns:

csvcut {{[-n|--names]}} {{data.csv}}

• Extract the first and third columns:

csvcut {{[-c|--columns]}} {{1,3}} {{data.csv}}

• Extract all columns except the fourth one:

csvcut {{[-C|--not-columns]}} {{4}} {{data.csv}}

• Extract the columns named "id" and "first name" (in that order):

csvcut {{[-c|--columns]}} {{id,"first name"}} {{data.csv}}
