Sometimes recsel chokes on a large query, and you need to break the query into chunks with a pipe.

This Kickstarter file has 374,853 records. Here's the chonky query:

recsel kick.rec -e "Category = 'Games'" -p "Subcategory,Avg(Goal)" -G Subcategory

It breaks down like this:

Chunk	Meaning
recsel kick.rec	Select records from kick.rec
-e "Category = 'Games'"	Select only records where Category = 'Games'
-p "Subcategory,Avg(Goal)"	Print the Subcategory and average goal
-G "Subcategory"	Group by subcategory

Two ways to break the query apart:

recsel kick.rec -e "Category = 'Games'" | recsel -p "Subcategory,Avg(Goal)" -G "Subcategory"

recsel kick.rec -e "Category = 'Games'" > games.rec
recsel games.rec -p "Subcategory" -G "Subcategory"
