CSV Processor

What Does the Code Do?

The CSV Processor is a Python script that processes CSV files. It extracts specified columns and filters rows based on a given start date.

Installation

To use the CSV Processor, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine using Git:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/csv-processor.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd csv-processor
   

3. Install the required dependencies using pip:

   pip install pandas
   

Generating the Executable

To generate the executable:

1. Navigate to the project directory where the ing2actualCsv.py file is located.

2. Run the following command in the terminal:

   pyinstaller --onefile ing2actualCsv.py
   

This will create a standalone executable file in the dist directory within the project folder.

Launch Configuration (launch.json)

To debug the script using Visual Studio Code, you can use the following launch configuration:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python Debugger: Current File with Arguments",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "ing2actualCsv.py",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "args": ["example.csv", "2024-03-05"],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
        }
    ]
}

Replace "args": ["example.csv", "2024-03-05"] with the appropriate arguments for your script.
