EXAMPLE

Consider two data tables v1.data.bz2 (created with ParameterY=Alpha) and v2.data.bz2 (created with ParameterY=Beta). The output data table should be written to output.data.bz2.
( echo "--values=\"Alpha\"" && \
echo "--input=v1.data.bz2" && \
echo "--values=\"Beta\"" && \
echo "--input=v2.data.bz2" ) | combinesummaries output.data.bz2 "ParameterY"
