# where
This command filters the content of a table based on a condition passed as a parameter, which must be a boolean expression making use of any of the table columns. Other commands such as `ls` are capable of feeding `where` with their output through pipelines.

Where has two general forms:
2020-06-23 20:21:47 +02:00
2019-11-28 20:41:27 +01:00
- `where <column_name> <comparison> <value>`
- `where <column_name>`
## Where with comparison
In the first form, `where` is passed a column name that the filter will run against. Next, is the operator used to compare this column to its value. The following operators are supported:
- `<` (less than)
- `<=` (less than or equal)
- `>` (greater than)
- `>=` (greater than or equal)
- `!=` (not equal)
- `==` (equal)
Strings have two additional operators:

2019-11-28 20:41:27 +01:00
- `=~` (fuzzy match to allow)
- `!~` (fuzzy match to not allow)

Dates can also be compared using the duration types. For example, `where accessed > 2wk` will check the date in accessed to see if it's greater than 2 weeks ago. Durations currently allow these abbreviations:
2019-11-28 20:41:27 +01:00
2021-06-07 22:21:31 +02:00
- `1sec` (one second)
- `1min` (one minute)
- `1hr` (one hour)
- `1day` (one day)
- `1wk` (one week)

## Boolean check
2020-08-01 20:30:45 +02:00
Where with the form `| where readonly` is used to check boolean values. For example, the command `ls --long | where readonly` will list only those files that are readonly.
