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.
