Data Parsing using existing data files in Perl

1 New Member
Hi

I need Perl Script to do Data Parsing using existing data files.

I have my existing data files in the following directory:

Directory Name: workfs/ams
Data File Names: 20070504.dat, 20070503.dat, 20070502.dat

In each of above data files there will be some millions of records. So my job is read those data files and also read first 3 letters of each record in all above data files and write into new data files.For example

In 20070504.dat , first 3 letters of records will be PAS, PNE, or NSD I have to read first 3 letters and write a data file like bi+PAS.dat if it is PNE then bi+PNE.dat ...etc. So there will be no hard coding in script. It will be generic script.Basicall y what i have to do is read first 3 letters and keep it into variable and loop them.I am new to perl .Anybody can help me this please

Thanks

Like tifoso said.... you start the code, we help, not the other way around. Look into using substr() or a regexp to read the first three characters in each record.

Here I send it. Suggestions and all kinds of recomendations are more than welcomed. If it all goes ok, it'll be a PEP when I finish writing/modifying the code. Thank you. .. Facundo

I am playing with the XMLHTTPRequest method to perform client/server transactions. I have it set up right now so that when readyState is 4, it takes the XML and processes it. This works great until there is alot of data. In that case, the user will have to wait for the data to come back which may take a minute or so. I don't want the user to have to wait. Is it possible for javascript to periodically (while still receiving more data)...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on how best to implement storage of access logs into a db/2 8.1.4 database running on a RH 7.2 system. I have 5 (squid) web caches running here that service the whole university. All access to external web sites must go through these caches. Each cache generates a gzip'd access log file that's about 100Mbytes every night.

I am converting a Perl script over to "C" for a potential open source project. I need some open source "C" code that will give me the same functionality of a Perl Style associative array: someArray = 6; I know I can't get the same syntactic sugar as Perl offers, with the usage of a string as the array key surrounded by square brackets. I just want the general functionality, that's all. That is, a data container that will maintain...

Hello everyone, I know how to parse data from an XML file with Javascript; but what if I would like to parse data from a user-submitted XML file via the " <input type='file'"? Would it be possible to read directly from that file, or would I need the user to upload the file and subsequently read the data from it? In any case, what would be the best and cleaner way to do it? I thank you in advance for any insight on this,

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
