QUOTE-GR...ELEMENTS(1)
💖 NAME 💖
quote-grouped-elements — bestie, this is the Unix filter that transforms a space-delimited table into quoted CSV. It's giving ✨ table glow-up ✨, no cap.
This page lives in the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual, and the title is QUOTE-GR...ELEMENTS(1). Okay so let's get into it 🫶
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
quote-grouped-elements🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋
Okay so quote-grouped-elements is a Unix-style filter — yes, like a proper little pipeline bestie 💅. It transforms an unquoted space-delimited table into quoted comma-separated-value format. It ignores any blank input lines, because those are lowkey not the vibe and we simply do not process them 👋.
The input delimiters are single spaces. And the way that runs of multiple spaces yield empty values? Iconic behavior, fr fr. So if you've got a bunch of spaces in a row, you get empty values, periodt. 🫶
No extra flags, no secret options, just the filter doing its one job flawlessly. Main character energy only. 👑
That's the whole page, bestie. This manual page is from NCBI, dated 2025-05-26, and it's the QUOTE-GR...ELEMENTS(1) page. Byeeee 💖✨🎀
