Julia CSV.read not recognizing "select" keyword-CodePudding

I am reading in a space-delimited file using the CSV library in Julia.

edgeList = CSV.read(
    joinpath(dataDirectory, "out.file"),
    types=[Int, Int],
    header=["node1", "node2"],
    skipto=3,
    select=[1,2]
)

This yields the following error:

MethodError: no method matching CSV.File(::String; types=DataType[Int64, Int64], header=["node1", "node2"], skipto=3, select=[1, 2])
Closest candidates are:
  CSV.File(::Any; header, normalizenames, datarow, skipto, footerskip, limit, transpose, comment, use_mmap, ignoreemptylines, missingstrings, missingstring, delim, ignorerepeated, quotechar, openquotechar, closequotechar, escapechar, dateformat, decimal, truestrings, falsestrings, type, types, typemap, categorical, pool, strict, silencewarnings, threaded, debug, parsingdebug, allowmissing) at /Users/n.jordanjameson/.julia/packages/CSV/4GOjG/src/CSV.jl:221 got unsupported keyword argument "select"

I am using Julia v. 1.6.2. Here is the output versioninfo():

The version of CSV is 0.10.4. The wiki for this version of CSV is here: https://csv.juliadata.org/stable/reading.html#CSV.read, and it has a select / drop entry.

The file I am trying to read is from here: http://konect.cc/networks/moreno_crime/ (the file I'm using is called "out.moreno_crime_crime"). The first few lines are:

I get a different error than you, can you restart Julia and make sure?

this error is telling you you can't CSV.read without a target sink, you might want to use CSV.File
