output csv data to table?	Can't Post

Hi guys.

Thought about using perl to take some csv data (PLUTemp.plu_code[7][2] etc are the column headings) than output it such:

Quote

<0000>
PLUTemp.plu_code[7][2]=00000000000001
PLUTemp.plu_caption[2]=00
PLUTemp.plu_price[4][2]=00014100
PLUTemp.plu_name[20][2]=A |
PLUTemp.plu_inprice[4][2]=00000100
PLUTemp.plu_store[5][2]=FF00000100
PLUTemp.plu_sale[5][2]=0000000300
PLUTemp.plu_money[5][2]=0000042300

If what you provided is the output format, can you please provide the input format?

Hi Velixer,

a quick untested program to do (more or less) what you want:

Code

while (my $line = <$INPUT_FILE>) { 
	chomp $line; 
	if ($line =~ /PLUTemp/ ) { 
	my @codes = split /,/, $line; 
     } 
     else { 
     	my @numbers = split /,/, $line; 
     	my $main_code = shift @numbers; 
     	print $main_code, "\n"; 
     	while (my $code = shift @codes) { 
     		my $number = shift @numbers; 
     		print $code, $number, "\n"; 
 		} 
	} 
}

fandabidastic mate!

cheers again for the help

here is the code I ended up using

Quote

print ("starting program","\n");
print ("\n");
open INPUT_FILE, "<", "inputplu.csv" or die $!;

open OUT_FILE, ">", "hucr.txt" or die $!;

while (my $line = <INPUT_FILE>) {

chomp $line;

if ($line =~ /PLUTemp/ ) {
my @codes = split /,/, $line;

}
else {
my @numbers = split /,/, $line;

open OUT_FILE, ">>", "hucr.txt" or die $!;

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ($main_code, "\n");

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ("PLUTemp.plu_code[7][2]=",

$main_code, "\n");

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ("PLUTemp.plu_caption[2]=",

$main_code, "\n");

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ("PLUTemp.plu_price[4][2]=",

$main_code, "\n");

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ("PPLUTemp.plu_name[20][2]

=", $main_code, "\n");

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ("PLUTemp.plu_inprice[4][2]

=", $main_code, "\n");

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ("PLUTemp.plu_store[5][2]=",

$main_code, "\n");

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ("PLUTemp.plu_sale[5][2]=",

$main_code, "\n");

my $main_code = shift @numbers;
print OUT_FILE ("PLUTemp.plu_money[5][2]=",

$main_code, "\n");

close OUT_FILE;

while (my $code = shift @codes) {
my $number = shift @numbers;
print $code, $number, "\n";
}
}
}
