# skip-while
|
|
Skips rows while the condition matches.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```shell
|
|
> [input-command] | skip-while <condition>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
If we open a file with a list of contacts, we get all of the contacts.
|
|
```shell
|
|
> open contacts.csv | sort-by "last name"
|
|
───┬────────────┬───────────┬──────────────────
|
|
# │ first name │ last name │ email
|
|
───┼────────────┼───────────┼──────────────────
|
|
0 │ John │ Abbot │ abbot@email.com
|
|
1 │ Chris │ Beasly │ beasly@email.com
|
|
2 │ Jane │ Carver │ carver@email.com
|
|
3 │ Francis │ Davis │ davis@email.com
|
|
───┴────────────┴───────────┴──────────────────
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To exclude skip contacts with last names startin with 'A' or 'B', use skip-while:
|
|
```shell
|
|
> open contacts.csv | sort-by "last name" | skip-while "last name" < "C"
|
|
───┬────────────┬───────────┬──────────────────
|
|
# │ first name │ last name │ email
|
|
───┼────────────┼───────────┼──────────────────
|
|
0 │ Jane │ Carver │ carver@email.com
|
|
1 │ Francis │ Davis │ davis@email.com
|
|
───┴────────────┴───────────┴──────────────────
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the order of input rows matters. Once a single row does not match the condition, all following rows are included in the output, whether or not they match the condition:
|
|
```shell
|
|
> open contacts.csv | skip-while "last name" < "C"
|
|
───┬────────────┬───────────┬──────────────────
|
|
# │ first name │ last name │ email
|
|
───┼────────────┼───────────┼──────────────────
|
|
0 │ Jane │ Carver │ carver@email.com
|
|
1 │ Chris │ Beasly │ beasly@email.com
|
|
2 │ Francis │ Davis │ davis@email.com
|
|
───┴────────────┴───────────┴──────────────────
|
|
```
|
|
See the `where` command to filter each individual row by a condition, regardless of order. |
