$ARGV Help

2001-08-24 Thread Govinderjit Dhinsa

I have a program that reads an input file and outputs the file, with
where I want each field to start from!



##
open ORG,"<$ARGV[0]" or die "Cannot open $ARGV[0]",$!;
open NEW,">$ARGV[1]";
while($line=){
chomp $line;
@fields = split ',',$line;

printf
ORG"%-9s%-15s%-40s%-15s\n",$fields[0],$fields[1],$fields[2],$fields[3];

}
close ORG;
close NEW;
exit;
[End of file]


###

What I need help on please is 'How to specify at the COMMAND LINE
where I want each field to start from',
INSTEAD of specifying it from the in the programme!

At the moment I specify the positions in the programme by;

printf
ORG"%-9s%-15s%-40s%-15s\n",$fields[0],$fields[1],$fields[2],$fields[3];



NOTE;
* The number of fields very all the time, as different input files
will have different amounts of fields.
* The start positions will always be different.

PS. Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Govin.

RE: Help pls %

How do I please get the fields to start from the positions I want
them to please;
For example I want;

$fields[0],  (which is 7 characters long to start from position
"0").
$fields[1],  (which is 10 characters long to start from position
"10").
$fields[2],  (which is 35 characters long to start from position
"25").
$fields[3];  (which is 15 characters long to start from  position
"65").

 programme so far which 

open CSV,"a.pl";
while($line=){
chomp $line;
my @fields = split ',',$line;
printf NEW"\n%7.7s%10.10s%35.35s%15.15s",

RE: printf

Does any body know why the printf is not printing anything out!

I tested the rest of the script by replacing the printf line with,
##
print "$line";
##
the file prints (with out any changes to the file, as expected). So
everything else is working apart from the printf.

Any help would be much appreciated.

RE: \r

2001-07-10 Thread Govinderjit Dhinsa

I have a input file which is a fixed line file (all along one line,
no " \n or \r ").
##
Q. How would I separate each data type, to do the following;

At  @fields 490, insert \r (carriage return).

So I want the input file, to look like below, is a few *LINES* of example of
the input file after inserting \r:

168127407932117187M01080m200107035eN/A

168150607947058268M200107015y13 n/a
##

I want to do this so that the while loop does not stop after the
first selection, and continues looping, for each line (once they are
separated)!

As the problem being at the moment is that the while loop stops at
the first selection!
 ##

Hi, can any body help me with a regex problem that I have please!
#
Q. Could any body please show me how to, print data by searching
character Numbers in a input line!
#
I have a input file, below is a few *LINES* of example of the input
file:

168127407932117187M01080m200107035eN/A

168150607947058268M200107015y13 n/a
###
For each *line* of the input file I need to get certain sets of data
in the line (string), for example;
0 to 5 (characters), 8 to 12 (characters), 14 to 16 (characters on
each line)

*I can only search by specifying numbers* as there is no, spaces,
tabs and etc, to separate the fields that I require!


Here is a programme that I wrote in the past to search for Fields,
as there was tab spaces in-between the input file, fields. I would like to
modify this programme to do what I need, however I can not use this as there
is no tab spaces to separate the fields in the input file!

open iscd,"<$ARGV[0]" or die "Cannot open $ARGV[0]",$!;
open sortcode,">$ARGV[1]";
while($line=){
chomp $line;
@fields=split "\t",$line;
printf sortcode "\n%6.6s%8.8s%27.27s%35.35s%35.35s",

$fields[0],$fields[1],$fields[2],$fields[4],$fields[5],$fields[6];
}
close iscd;
close sortcode;
exit;

RE: Regex

Hi, I have been asked to write a perl script, to Delete 1 field in a

What I need to delete from the file is: Field [3]
Can any body please suggest what else needs to be added to the
script that I wrote below to do this task please.

  The big problem being that the data in the File is not sorted in any
form,
  e.g. no Headings etc.  The only thing separating the fields is  a
  comment=  ,

Here is two data items examples from the input file (each data is streachted
along ONE LINE) :
(The field [3] that I need to get rid of is "006" and the number is not
always the same)

How do I get access to the manpages please 



FW: FW: PROGRAM!

2001-06-21 Thread Govinderjit Dhinsa

Morning,
I have made a attachment in word, to make it slightly easier for you to see
the 'data items' in the file.

There are two examples, but they are suppose to all be on one line.  However
I couldn't get the examples on one line for you to see, sorry!

All the spaces between the items are correct.

Also I put a program in the attachment on page2,  Question: what would have
to be changed, so that I only get back only the 3 data items that I need
please!
   <> 

Thanks

Kind Regards,
GD 




RE: PROGRAM HELP!

2001-06-20 Thread Govinderjit Dhinsa

(Thanks ME, who ever you are)

Hi, I have been asked to write a perl script, to format the output
in to fields/columns;

Description for script:
*Read a existing file and put it in my requested format,

*Take certain data types from the file (input),
(problem)
*Put the certain data types in to fields/columns (output).
(problem)

The big problem being that the data in the File is not sorted in any
form, e.g. no Headings etc.  The only thing separating the data types are
spaces!

What I need to get from the file are:
ID.NUMBER,BranchNAME,   ADDRESS.

The file contains the above 3 data types that I need, also about
another 10+ which I need to get rid off! Can any body please suggest how
do this task please, e.g. Report writing etc


Here is two data examples from the input file (each data is normally
streachted along ONE LINE) :
(I need the three data types that are'underlined'  (ID.NUMBER,
BranchNAME,  ADDRESS).

RE: PERL PROGRAM HELP!

2001-06-20 Thread Govinderjit Dhinsa

Hi, I am new to perl and have been chucked in the deep end!!!   I have been
asked to write a perl script, with a output in report style;

Description for script:
Read a file,  (sorted) 
take certain data from the file,  (problem)
put the certain data in to fields.(problem)

The big problem being that the File is not sorted in any form, e.g. no
existing columns or fields or Headings!

What I need to get from the file are:
ID NUMBER, BranchNAME, ADDRESS. 


The file contains the above 3 data types and about another 5, which I need
to get rid off! 

Can any body please suggest how do this task or what I need to read up on
(topics e.g. Report writing etc) or any other tutorials on report writing
or, any thing to show me how to get certain data from a file
please

Any help would be appreciated as I only have two days to this in!!!
