# stat

The stat command provides basic statistics on the number of records and fields in CSV data files. For example, running the command:

csvfix stat data/names.dat

produces this output:

"data/names.csv","7","3","3"

which says that names.csv contains 7 records, the shortest of which contains 3 fields, and the longest of which contains 3 fields. Note that the number of records is not necessarily the same as the number of lines in the file, as a CSV record can span multiple lines.
