Re^2: Reading Multiple lines

When I open the file I have the correct pattern

eg Input is.
"data","data","data","data"
"data","data with 
new with new Line" "data"
"data","data","data","data"

"data","data","data","data"
"data","data with new with new Line" "data"
"data","data","data","data"

I'm not sure if I need to use that module.As, at this point in the process I don't process the fields and only process each line

Oh, I should have read your code more thoroughly. <code> "data","data","data","data" "data","data with new with new Line" "data" It would be more consistent to put a comma between the two last fields, not just a blank. If you do that, you can just feed the lines to Text::CSV. Or reinvent the wheel by crafting a clever regex, but that has been discussed here many times (try Super Search for CSV or "comma separated"), so I won't re-write the wheel.	[reply]

sorry I missed that the comma in that example. it should be. input: "data", "data" ,"data", "data","data", "data" "data", "data" ,"data", "data with new line ","data", "data" "data", "data" ,"data", "data","data", "data" output: "data", "data" ,"data", "data","data", "data" "data", "data" ,"data", "data with new line","data", "data" "data", "data" ,"data", "data","data", "data" All I am doing at this stage is making sure that the line ends with a quotation mark. I would prefer not to use the TEXT::CSV module as this will be used on a server that I don't have permissions to load modules.	[reply]

Get permission, its much easier than re-inventing wheels (esp. when you're having problems doing it). Try (cut/paste) Text::CSV_PP - Text::CSV_XS compatible pure-Perl module	[reply]
