here is the problem.
I am parsing sales reports that are printed 2 or more times each day.
The 1st report of everyday is actually the last report of the previous
day.
I have written a program that look at the modified time of the reports
then if the reports date is before 9am then the report is set to the
previous day.
To ease my work when having to go through these reports at a later date
I have the reports renamed based on date and then incrementally ordered
for that date. Example: 7.9.2003_(1)_(64836).txt Reads date - report
number time when report was run. You may recognize this from a bunch of
posts yesterday ;)
Now I have this all set so that it work great!! Thanks to everyone's
help on the list. However when I do the check to see if the report is
from the previous day the system does not take into account non-work
days. For instance if its Mondays morning report (which is actually
posted to Fridays sales) the report date would be set to Sunday.
I am trying to figure out a good way to account for this. The only thing
I can think of would be to great hashes for each month. Then have hash
keys for the day after days off. So the system would check the hash key
if exits it would set the day to the day defined in the hash.
Sample (Fridays date is the 11th. Mondays date is 14th.)
I would have a hash called july{14}=11;
If report is for previous day
if ($july{reports modify date})
report date = $july{reports modify day}
else
report date -= 1
endif
This seem VERY CUMBERSOME :) any suggestions or am I on the right track
with this.
