I need to convert data formatted for humans into data formatted for a database. The actual document is subject to privacy regulation. The following is a mockup to illustrate the task. I need to convert this:
ART 200-2D Art I First Level Requests Aardvark, Amy 10 Badger, Billy 11 Cat, Carl 12 ART 200-2D Art I Alternate Request Dove, David 11 Fox, Fred 11 Gill, Gertrude 10 ART 215-2D Art II, Honors First Level Requests Kite, Kevin 11 Lizard, Larry 12 Mongoose, Marvin 11 into this: ART 200 First Aardvark, Amy 10 ART 200 First Badger, Billy 11 ART 200 First Cat, Carl 12 ART 200 Alternate Dove, David 11 ART 200 Alternate Fox, Fred 11 ART 200 Alternate Gill, Gertrude 10 ART 215 First Kite, Kevin 11 ART 215 First Lizard, Larry 12 ART 215 First Mongoose, Marvin 11 So, I need to capture the course ID from one line, the request type from the next line, and then insert each of those into the beginning of each subsequent line, until the occurrence of a new course ID, at which point the course ID and request type are updated for insertion into the next block of lines... ... and so on for about 3,000 lines. My grep skills are not up to the challenge. Can anyone help? Thanks, dp -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
