CSV Anonymizer

Python script that extracts a column from a CSV file, anonymizes the data from one specific column, and writes into a new CSV file. Can hash multiple columns in one operation.

Running Instructions

• The original file needs to be either in the project folder, or a full path
• The original file needs to have a Header
• To run the file, execute the following command:

  python anonymize_full_script.py -i <inputfilename> -o <outputfilename> -c <columnname>  
  

-c, or --column is the name of the column which needs to be anonymized

Important: There cannot be spaces in between column names! Example on how to execute this code: python anonymize_full_script.py -i people-100.csv -o people-hash1.csv -c 'Job Title','First Name'

Future Improvements

• Create a handle that defines weather if the file has a Header or not
• Create a loop that handles files without a Header
• Create an exeption handling for when the file is not in the project folder
• Implement the click package instead of the sys aiming to create a more dynamic CLI for the user
