in reply to Search/Replace within fields of CSV

If you can edit the CSV file and add a first line with field names (I used "First,Second,Third,Fourth,Fifth,Sixth,Seventh,Eight"), then you can use DBI and SQL to do this job for you.
use Modern::Perl; use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:CSV:", undef, undef, { f_ext => '.csv', f_dir => 'D:/Perl/scripts', RaiseError => 1, } ) or die "Cannot connect: $DBI::errstr"; $dbh->do(q/UPDATE test SET First = 'CONDENSED' WHERE test.First = 'C'/ +); $dbh->do(q/UPDATE test SET First = 'FINAL' WHERE test.First = 'F'/); $dbh->do(q/UPDATE test SET Fifth = 'Ohio' WHERE test.Fifth = '0H'/); $dbh->do(q/UPDATE test SET Fifth = 'Oregon' WHERE test.Fifth = '0R'/);

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
