ffe

Extract fields from a flat database file and write to another format. A configuration file is required to interpret the input and format the output. More information: http://ff-extractor.sourceforge.net/ffe.html.

• Display all input data using the specified data configuration:
  ffe --configuration={{path/to/config.ffe}} {{path/to/input}}
• Convert an input file to an output file in a new format:
  ffe --output={{path/to/output}} -c {{path/to/config.ffe}} {{path/to/input}}
• Select input structure and print format from definitions in ~/.fferc config file:
  ffe --structure={{structure}} --print={{format}} {{path/to/input}}
• Write only the selected fields:
  ffe --field-list="{{FirstName,LastName,Age}}" -c {{path/to/config.ffe}} {{path/to/input}}
• Write only the records that match an expression:
  ffe -e "{{LastName=Smith}}" -c {{path/to/config.ffe}} {{path/to/input}}

  ffe --help
