Hello...
I am working on a script to report errors from a backup tool... I have all of the errors in one comma-delimited file... Is there a slick way to parse the lines and group the data, so that I can write them to seperate files... corresponding to the NODE NAME (the first comma-delimit i.e. XXXYYZZ,)
My example file is generated from a SQL query and placed in comma-delimited form... The comma delimited file has three data sources (node,datestamp,error)...
