I thought i would post an example of
tilly's
Text::xSV, but i am not sure that i am actually
escaping the slashes like you want. Oh well, i'll post it
anyway in hopes that someone can help correct it if it is
indeed incorrect. ;)
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::xSV;
my $csv = Text::xSV->new(
sep => ':',
fh => *DATA,
filter => sub {($_ = shift) =~ s/\\{2}/\\/g;$_}
);
$csv->bind_fields(qw(foo bar baz qux));
while ($csv->get_row()) {
print $csv->extract('qux'), "\n";
}
__DATA__
0005:A:A2:\\\\string 04\\\\
0005:A:A2:\\\string 04\\\\
0005:A:A2:\\string 04\\\\
0005:A:A2:\string 04\\\\
When run, this script outputs:
\\string 04\\
\\string 04\\
\string 04\\
\string 04\\
