Reusing the name of the source in the target

The below target data uri

new_$name@sqlite

will define the target resource

• located in the sqlite connection
• and a name that is composed of
  • the prefix new_
  • and the name of the data source ($name)

Example: if the source table name is time, the target table name would be new_time

Using a part of source name in the target

With a glob pattern, you can reference parts of the source.

Example with the below data selector

D?*@sqlite

and the below target data uri

# 2 for the second glob pattern (ie for the *), 1 being for the first ?
$2@sqlite

• if the source table name were D_TIME, D_CUSTOMERS,
• the target table names would be TIME, CUSTOMERS

File system

In a shell such as powershell, the $ character should be quoted.

tabul data copy '*/bootstrap.min.css@cd' '/boot/bootstrap.$1.min.css@cd'
