csv_bash's Issues

User friendly

Add menu for administrative tasks (save options, duplicate file, etc ...)

Make it work on other shell (ksh, etc ...)

Currently only tested with bash.

Fix add_header

Currently, it's impossible to choose where to insert new header, fix this.

Save function not working ?

If anyone can find what's going on ?

Add copy/paste

Copy results into a buffer and then paste it after an ID for example
