Re^6: Pre-process csv files before using

I'm getting an odd error with this

shift @origcols;
    foreach ( @origcols ) {
       $_ =~ s/\.//;
       push ( @cols , $_ ) unless /Bandwidth.*|MSTCPLoop.*/ ;
    }
[download]

It says:

Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at ./runsql3.sql lin
+e 20.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at ./runsql3.sql lin
+e 21.
[download]

Line 20 is my "s/\.//" line

I would check if there are proper values in your `@origcols` array. Do something like this before you get into the loop to modify it `map { print $_,$/ } @origcols;` [download] If you see proper output then need to look at other places. Example of your header data will be helpful! Actually davidrw's grep solution is much cleaner!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This is a small sample of the header data `PDHCSV40EasternDaylightTime240,ERWWCOMMUNITIES.MemoryPagesPERsec,ERWWC +OMMUNITIESNetworkInterfaceEthernetAdapterModuleBytesTotalPERsec,ERWWC +OMMUNITIESNetworkInterfaceEthernetAdapterCurrentBandwidth` [download] In the original data, some of the headers have periods in them. This causes SQL error, so I've been stripping them in a preprocessing program. I'm trying to stream line this, and get rid of the preprocessor. To test this I've been adding a period in one of the fields. Thats when I get the error. I have inserted a period in the second header value to simulate what I am trying to strip. 20050807 Janitored by Corion: Made page-widening code wrap (only multiline code wraps)	[reply] [d/l]
