Hello,
I am currently struggling with this project. I cannot even decide on the
best way to implement it, let alone start writing the code.
I have a set of tables that look similar to what I have pasted below:
(See attached file: page6.prn) (See attached file: page7.prn)
I am trying to organize the contents of these two files, so allow allows
users to query the files.
So a user can request the value of
"Domestic nonfinancial sectors", "Total", "1972"
which should then print out 10.0
The long term is to convert files of this structure to a "screen readable
HTML" format (508 compliant).
QUESTIONS:
1./ What is the best approach to implement this. Also are there any
Perl-based programs that can be fine-tuned for this purpose?
2./ Can anyone offer to share a code he/she has written?
Any pointers will be very much appreciated.
PS: My initial plan is to parse the contents of these files into a Perl
DBI database, which could then be queried.
