Re: (elbie): Last two rows or a csv file.

This is what I've got:

#!/usr/bin/perl


open (FILE, "edidocs.csv") or die "Can't open file $!\n";

@lines = <FILE>;

while ($line = pop @lines) {
    print $line "\n";
}

It prints the rows from last to first. Now I need to get the first two rows timestamp and do the calulations. Then we'll be good to go!

If you don't need to store the contents of the file, try this:

open (FILE, "edidocs.csv") or die "Can't open file $!\n";

my( $curr_time, $prev_time );  # Sorry about the $ in the original
while( <FILE> ) {
    $prev_time = $curr_time;
    $curr_time = ( split /,/ )[1];
}

If you do need to store the whole file, then the last two lines are stored in $lines( $#lines - 1 ) and $lines( $#lines ) of your example before you popped them off the stack.

Great! This works beautifully. Now I'm onto another stumbling block. How would I get the same percentage calculation for the entire month using the epoch timestamp in the csv file?
