Re^2: How to parse a tab delimited file

Thanks for the help

Sorry for being a completely stupid monk, but how do I use this?

How can I call the new constructor setting the separator to tab (\t)?

I have this so far but it doesn't work.

my $csv = Text::xSV->new(
    filename => $csv_destination,
    sep => '\t',
);

$csv->open_file("foo.csv");
$csv->read_header();
foreach my $field ($csv->get_fields) {
    if (lc($field) ne $field) {
        $csv->alias($field, lc($field));
    }
}

Complains about using The separator '\t' is not of length 1.

Thanks,
Tom

`sep => '\t',` `The separator '\t' is not of length 1.` `You get rid of that error if you specify it in double quotes: sep => "\t", Cheers, Sören`	[reply]
