We get files from vendors in different format for a product and I want to transform them to one output format.
Output file:
Ocol1, Ocol2, Ocol3, Ocol4, Ocol5, Ocol6, Ocol7, Ocol8, Ocol9, Ocol10.
Vendor files:
Vendor1:
Vcol1, Vcol2, Vcol3, Vcol4, Vcol5, Vcol6
Source-target mapping:
Vcol1->Ocol1
Vcol3->Ocol2
Vcol4->Ocol4
Vcol5->Ocol8
Vendor2:
Vcol1, Vcol2, Vcol3, Vcol4, Vcol5, Vcol6, Vcol12, Vcol15
Source-target mapping:
Vcol1->Ocol12
Vcol3->Ocol2
Vcol4->Ocol15
Vcol5->Ocol8
I want to define input/output/source-target mapping in config files and want to write a generic perl program that reads the config files and generates output file.
In the case of shell script, I can create config files and include them in my script.
Would really appreciate some pointers here.
Thanks a lot

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
