Greetings,
I get data in CSV files from several different sites
and I can't get the date/time formats to be consistent,
let alone have the fields arranged in the same order.
I can put in the field/column names by hand in a first
record but I can't find hoe to go about using them to
change my split operation to get the info from the
right place depending on the first record that I will
add to the file.
eg. one file will have columns name,title,phone,
snail-mail-addr,email while another file will have
name,email,phone,title. I can certainly change the perl
program, but as often as I would have to change it the
failure rate woould be pretty high!
I am certain there is some sneaky perl trick that will
accomplish this, but I haven't been able to find it!
Many TIA!
Dennis
