Could you enable sddsshift to work with string columns?

For example, if I want to get Twiss parameters at the beginnings of all the elements it would simply take:
sddsshift twiss.sdds -pipe=out -col=ElementType -shift=1 | ...

Cyclic shift would be useful as well. But this probably is not so easy to implement.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll try to get it into the next release.

Meanwhile, you can do this:
sddsconvert input.twi output1.twi -delete=col,Element*
sddsprocess input.twi -pipe=out -clip=1,0 -retain=col,Element* \
| sddsxref -pipe=in output1.twi output.twi -take=*

Thanks! I'll use this solution.
Before I had to shift all the numeric columns instead of ElementName.
