<h1>DSL reference: output statements<a class="headerlink" href="#dsl-reference-output-statements" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>You can <strong>output</strong> variable-values or expressions in <strong>five ways</strong>:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><strong>Assign</strong> them to stream-record fields. For example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$cumulative_sum</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">&#64;sum</span></code>. For another example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$nr</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">NR</span></code> adds a field named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nr</span></code> to each output record, containing the value of the built-in variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NR</span></code> as of when that record was ingested.</p></li>
<li><p>Use the <strong>print</strong> or <strong>eprint</strong> keywords which immediately print an expression <em>directly to standard output or standard error</em>, respectively. Note that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">edump</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">eprint</span></code> dont output records which participate in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">then</span></code>-chaining; rather, theyre just immediate prints to stdout/stderr. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">printn</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">eprintn</span></code> keywords are the same except that they dont print final newlines. Additionally, you can print to a specified file instead of stdout/stderr.</p></li>
<li><p>Use the <strong>dump</strong> or <strong>edump</strong> keywords, which <em>immediately print all out-of-stream variables as a JSON data structure to the standard output or standard error</em> (respectively).</p></li>
<li><p>Use <strong>tee</strong> which formats the current stream record (not just an arbitrary string as with <strong>print</strong>) to a specific file.</p></li>
<li><p>Use <strong>emit</strong>/<strong>emitp</strong>/<strong>emitf</strong> to send out-of-stream variables current values to the output record stream, e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&#64;sum</span> <span class="pre">+=</span> <span class="pre">$x;</span> <span class="pre">emit</span> <span class="pre">&#64;sum</span></code> which produces an extra output record such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sum=3.1648382</span></code>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>For the first two options you are populating the output-records stream which feeds into the next verb in a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">then</span></code>-chain (if any), or which otherwise is formatted for output using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--o...</span></code> flags.</p>
<p>For the last three options you are sending output directly to standard output, standard error, or a file.</p>
<div class="section" id="print-statements">
<span id="reference-dsl-print-statements"></span><h2>Print statements<a class="headerlink" href="#print-statements" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span></code> statement is perhaps self-explanatory, but with a few light caveats:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>There are four variants: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span></code> goes to stdout with final newline, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">printn</span></code> goes to stdout without final newline (you can include one using “n” in your output string), <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">eprint</span></code> goes to stderr with final newline, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">eprintn</span></code> goes to stderr without final newline.</p></li>
<li><p>Output goes directly to stdout/stderr, respectively: data produced this way do not go downstream to the next verb in a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">then</span></code>-chain. (Use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emit</span></code> for that.)</p></li>
<li><p>Print statements are for strings (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span> <span class="pre">&quot;hello&quot;</span></code>), or things which can be made into strings: numbers (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span> <span class="pre">3</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span> <span class="pre">$a</span> <span class="pre">+</span> <span class="pre">$b</span></code>, or concatenations thereof (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span> <span class="pre">&quot;a</span> <span class="pre">+</span> <span class="pre">b</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">&quot;</span> <span class="pre">.</span> <span class="pre">($a</span> <span class="pre">+</span> <span class="pre">$b)</span></code>). Maps (in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$*</span></code>, map-valued out-of-stream or local variables, and map literals) arent convertible into strings. If you print a map, you get <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{is-a-map}</span></code> as output. Please use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump</span></code> to print maps.</p></li>
<li><p>You can redirect print output to a file: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mlr</span> <span class="pre">--from</span> <span class="pre">myfile.dat</span> <span class="pre">put</span> <span class="pre">'print</span> <span class="pre">&gt;</span> <span class="pre">&quot;tap.txt&quot;,</span> <span class="pre">$x'</span></code> <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mlr</span> <span class="pre">--from</span> <span class="pre">myfile.dat</span> <span class="pre">put</span> <span class="pre">'o=$*;</span> <span class="pre">print</span> <span class="pre">&gt;</span> <span class="pre">$a.&quot;.txt&quot;,</span> <span class="pre">$x'</span></code>.</p></li>

</div>
<div class="section" id="dump-statements">
<span id="reference-dsl-dump-statements"></span><h2>Dump statements<a class="headerlink" href="#dump-statements" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump</span></code> statement is for printing expressions, including maps, directly to stdout/stderr, respectively:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>There are two variants: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump</span></code> prints to stdout; <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">edump</span></code> prints to stderr.</p></li>
<li><p>Output goes directly to stdout/stderr, respectively: data produced this way do not go downstream to the next verb in a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">then</span></code>-chain. (Use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emit</span></code> for that.)</p></li>
<li><p>You can use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump</span></code> to output single strings, numbers, or expressions including map-valued data. Map-valued data are printed as JSON. Miller allows string and integer keys in its map literals while JSON allows only string keys, so use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mlr</span> <span class="pre">put</span> <span class="pre">--jknquoteint</span></code> if you want integer-valued map keys not double-quoted.</p></li>
<li><p>If you use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump</span></code> (or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">edump</span></code>) with no arguments, you get a JSON structure representing the current values of all out-of-stream variables.</p></li>
<li><p>As with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span></code>, you can redirect output to files.</p></li>

<p>Records produced by a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mlr</span> <span class="pre">put</span></code> go downstream to the next verb in your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">then</span></code>-chain, if any, or otherwise to standard output. If you want to additionally copy out records to files, you can do that using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tee</span></code>.</p>
<p>The syntax is, by example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mlr</span> <span class="pre">--from</span> <span class="pre">myfile.dat</span> <span class="pre">put</span> <span class="pre">'tee</span> <span class="pre">&gt;</span> <span class="pre">&quot;tap.dat&quot;,</span> <span class="pre">$*'</span> <span class="pre">then</span> <span class="pre">sort</span> <span class="pre">-n</span> <span class="pre">index</span></code>. First is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tee</span> <span class="pre">&gt;</span></code>, then the filename expression (which can be an expression such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;tap.&quot;.$a.&quot;.dat&quot;</span></code>), then a comma, then <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$*</span></code>.

<p>The <strong>print</strong>, <strong>dump</strong> <strong>tee</strong>, <strong>emitf</strong>, <strong>emit</strong>, and <strong>emitp</strong> keywords all allow you to redirect output to one or more files or pipe-to commands. The filenames/commands are strings which can be constructed using record-dependent values, so you can do things like splitting a table into multiple files, one for each account ID, and so on.</p>

<p>There are three variants: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emitf</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emit</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emitp</span></code>. Keep in mind that out-of-stream variables are a nested, multi-level hashmap (directly viewable as JSON using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump</span></code>), whereas Miller output records are lists of single-level key-value pairs. The three emit variants allow you to control how the multilevel hashmaps are flatten down to output records. You can emit any map-valued expression, including <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$*</span></code>, map-valued out-of-stream variables, the entire out-of-stream-variable collection <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&#64;*</span></code>, map-valued local variables, map literals, or map-valued function return values.</p>
<p>Use <strong>emitf</strong> to output several out-of-stream variables side-by-side in the same output record. For <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emitf</span></code> these mustnt have indexing using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&#64;name[...]</span></code>. Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="hll"> mlr put -q &#39;
</span><span class="hll"> @count += 1;
</span><span class="hll"> @x_sum += $x;
</span><span class="hll"> @y_sum += $y;
</span><span class="hll"> end { emitf @count, @x_sum, @y_sum}
</span><span class="hll"> &#39; data/small
</span> count=5,x_sum=2.264761728567491,y_sum=2.585085709781158
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Use <strong>emit</strong> to output an out-of-stream variable. If its non-indexed youll get a simple key-value pair:</p>

<p>Now for <strong>emitp</strong>: if you have as many names following <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emit</span></code> as there are levels in the out-of-stream variables hashmap, then <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emit</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emitp</span></code> do the same thing. Where they differ is when you dont specify as many names as there are hashmap levels. In this case, Miller needs to flatten multiple map indices down to output-record keys: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emitp</span></code> includes full prefixing (hence the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">p</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emitp</span></code>) while <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emit</span></code> takes the deepest hashmap key as the output-record key:</p>
