I have designs like that, which are used for parsing so calld "Bloomberg files". Those files contain strings like "N.A.", "-",|| ('|' is the field delimiter) and all of those strings mean "NULL". Also, stock split ratio can be described as: "1:2", "1/2", "2 for 1", "0.5", which has to be mapped to a number field. I'm using perl to parse the input files and I'm using crontab to schedule perl script exectuion.
