Hallo everybody,

I'm a newbie and I have a newbie question:

I have a system dump which I would like to convert to a CSV-file.

The dump looks like this:

1.1- 1.2 All rights and privileges

GRANTEE              GRANTED_ROLE         ADM DEF 
-------------------- -------------------- --- --- 
U1                   CONNECT              NO  YES 
U2                   RESOURCE ORA         NO  YES 
DBA1                 JAVA_ADMIN           NO  YES 
...
[download]

and the CSV should become like this:

1.1- 1.2 All grantees and privileges;
GRANTEE;GRANTED_ROLE;ADM;DEF 
U1;CONNECT;NO;YES 
U2;RESOURCE ORA;NO;YES 
DBA1;JAVA_ADMIN;NO;YES
...
[download]

In the original dump the koloms are separated by fixed positions. I do however not find a good way to incorpotate that element in the regex. Is that the way to do it or is there a better way?

Thanks beforehand for all the aid!

Jean
