datamash[1] is a command-line program which performs basic numeric and statistical operations.
brew install datamash
Usage: datamash [OPTION] op [fld] [op fld ...]
Performs numeric/string operations on input from stdin.
'op' is the operation to perform. If a primary operation is used,
it must be listed first, optionally followed by other operations.
'fld' is the input field to use. 'fld' can be a number (1=first field),
or a field name when using the -H or --header-in options.
Multiple fields can be listed with a comma (e.g. 1,6,8). A range of
fields can be listed with a dash (e.g. 2-8). Use colons for operations
which require a pair of fields (e.g. 'pcov 2:6').
Primary operations:
groupby, crosstab, transpose, reverse, check
Line-Filtering operations:
rmdup
Per-Line operations:
base64, debase64, md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512,
bin, strbin, round, floor, ceil, trunc, frac,
dirname, basename, barename, extname, getnum, cut
Numeric Grouping operations:
sum, min, max, absmin, absmax, range
Textual/Numeric Grouping operations:
count, first, last, rand, unique, collapse, countunique
Statistical Grouping operations:
mean, geomean, harmmean, trimmean, median, q1, q3, iqr, perc,
mode, antimode, pstdev, sstdev, pvar, svar, ms, rms, mad, madraw,
pskew, sskew, pkurt, skurt, dpo, jarque,
scov, pcov, spearson, ppearson
Options:
Grouping Options:
-C, --skip-comments skip comment lines (starting with '#' or ';'
and optional whitespace)
-f, --full print entire input line before op results
(default: print only the grouped keys)
This option is only sensible for linewise
operations. Other uses are deprecated and
will be removed in a future version of GNU
Datamash.
-g, --group=X[,Y,Z] group via fields X,[Y,Z];
equivalent to primary operation 'groupby'
--header-in first input line is column headers
--header-out print column headers as first line
-H, --headers same as '--header-in --header-out'
-i, --ignore-case ignore upper/lower case when comparing text;
this affects grouping, and string operations
-s, --sort sort the input before grouping; this removes the
need to manually pipe the input through 'sort'
-c, --collapse-delimiter=X use X to separate elements in collapse and
unique lists (default: comma)
File Operation Options:
--no-strict allow lines with varying number of fields
--filler=X fill missing values with X (default N/A)
General Options:
-t, --field-separator=X use X instead of TAB as field delimiter
--format=FORMAT print numeric values with printf style
floating-point FORMAT.
--output-delimiter=X use X instead as output field delimiter
(default: use same delimiter as -t/-W)
--narm skip NA/NaN values
-R, --round=N round numeric output to N decimal places
-W, --whitespace use whitespace (one or more spaces and/or tabs)
for field delimiters
-z, --zero-terminated end lines with 0 byte, not newline
--sort-cmd=/path/to/sort Alternative sort(1) to use.
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Environment:
LC_NUMERIC decimal-point character and thousands separator
Examples:
Print the sum and the mean of values from column 1:
$ seq 10 | datamash sum 1 mean 1
55 5.5
Transpose input:
$ seq 10 | paste - - | datamash transpose
1 3 5 7 9
2 4 6 8 10

man datamash

Basic Usage[edit]
seq 10 | datamash --header-out min 1 mean 1 median 1 max 1 sstdev 1 count 1- Add two numbers:
echo -e "100\n 50" | datamash sum 1
