Columns Replace directive

The COLUMNS-REPLACE directive alters column names in bulk.

Syntax

columns-replace 'sed-expression'

The 'sed-expression' specifies the sed expression syntax, such as s/data_//g.

Example

Using this record as an example, these columns all have data_ as a prefix in their column names:

{
  "data_name": "root",
  "data_first_name": "mars",
  "data_last_name": "joltie",
  "data_data_id": 1,
  "data_address": "150 Mars Ave, Mars City, Mars, 8899898",
  "mars_ssn": "MARS-456282"
}

Applying this directive:

columns-replace 's/^data_//g'

results in the record having any column names that were prefixed with data_ replaced with an empty string:

Note: The field value is untouched during this directive. This operates only on the column names.
