NAME¶
AnyData::Format::Pipe - tiedhash & DBI/SQL access to Pipe delimited files
SYNOPSIS¶
use AnyData;
my $table = adHash( 'Pipe', $filename,'r',$flags );
while (my $row = each %$table) {
print $row->{name},"\n" if $row->{country} =~ /us|mx|ca/;
}
# ... other tied hash operations
OR
use DBI
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
$dbh->func('table1','Pipe', $filename,$flags,'ad_catalog');
my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
SELECT name FROM table1 WHERE country = 'us'
});
# ... other DBI/SQL operations
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a plug-in format parser for the AnyData and DBD::AnyData modules. It
will read column names from the first row of the file, or accept names passed
by the user. In addition to column names, the user may set other options as
follows:
col_names : a pipe separated list of column names
If you are using this with DBD::AnyData, put ad_ in front of the flags, e.g.
ad_eol.
Please refer to the documentation for AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm for further
details.
