Bug#611967: csvtool: namedcol should retain heading row



Package: csvtool
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: normal


Thank you for maintaining the very handy csvtool
package.

I'm using it, and would like to suggest a modest
improvement.

Please enhance the "namedcol" option to also
return a first row of the names of the chosen
columns.

For example

    $ csvtool namedcol Account,Cost input.csv > output.csv

might return

    Account,Cost
    1,$5
    2,$7
    3,$3

At least for me, it omitted the heading row
"Account,Cost".

Thanks,
Kingsley
