Hi everyone,

I was working on a perl file conversion for the below logic:

Sample input:

...
F12    F11            F481               F55     F989
8204    20160930    1064.848    test    Y
8204A    20160930    1064.505    test    Y
8204B    20160930    1045.469    test    Y

First rows are headers with value below.We need to convert this data into such a way that the data repeats from the date column under F11 till the day on which we are processing the file .Assume we are processing file on 20161002’,then the data file out will be as below.

F12    F11            F481               F55     F989
8204    20160930    1064.848    test    Y
8204A    20160930    1064.505    test    Y
8204B    20160930    1045.469    test    Y
8204    20161001    1064.848    test    Y
8204A    20161001    1064.505    test    Y
8204B    20161001    1045.469    test    Y
8204    20161002    1064.848    test    Y
8204A    20161002    1064.505    test    Y
8204B    20161002    1045.469    test    Y
