Re: Perl solution

The CoC* service responds: insert coin here.

Seriously, what problems do you have, what did you try, did you read the PerlMonks FAQ and not stumble over How do I post a question effectively? Hard to believe.

For a starter,

netstat -e | perl -ple 's/\s\s+/\t/' > file.csv
[download]

writes the output of netstat -e into a tab delimited csv file. You have to tweak the regular expression used in that snippet according to the spec.

What spec? Ah, uhm, wait, er...

netstat -e | perl -ple 's/\s\s+/\t/' > file.csv

Very likely an intended g modifier is missing from that s///. Of course, without a problem specification, who can say for sure that the g is needed? :)

a tab delimited csv file

I think you mean "a tsv file". A csv file is, by definition, comma delimited. A better version would probably be something like this:

  netstat -e | perl -ple 's/\s\s+/,/' > file.csv
[download]

. . . and, of course, neither of our versions are exactly perfect/complete.

print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2);

You are certainly not wrong, but it could be argued that csv became a 'backronym' of Character Separated Values.
