Re: Need help to parse a csv file

[przemo]

Something similar to this would work.

use Text::CSV;

use warnings;
use strict;

# Reading the first file and extracting IVAL...S

my $csv = Text::CSV->new;
my @header = $csv->getline(\*DATA);
$csv->column_names(@header);

my $frst = $csv->getline_hr(\*DATA);
my ($ivaldate, $ivalstart, $ivalend) = map { $frst->{$_} } qw( IVALDAT
+E IVALSTART IVALEND );

# Reading all the rest
my $line = <DATA>;
$line =~ s/,/\t/g;
print join "\t", qw( Date StartTime EndTime), $line;
while ($line = <DATA>) {
    $line =~ s/,/\t/g;
    print join "\t", $ivaldate, $ivalstart, $ivalend, $line;
}

__DATA__
"CLLI","SWREL","RPTDATE","RPTIME","TZ","RPTTYPE","RPTPD","IVALDATE","I
+VALSTART","IVALEND","NUMENTIDS"

Oh no, you should also use Text::CSV for # Reading all the rest.

That is left as an exercise to the reader. :)

Then why provide code to do it?
