Though that is a perfect answer, the code you showed uses parse and thus is unsafe to use when upgrading from this easy single-line example to parsing a complete file record by record, wher getline whould be the preferred method to use.

Below is an example that uses more recent Text::CSV_XS' csv function

#!/usr/bin/perl use 5.014001; use warnings; use Text::CSV_XS qw( csv ); my $line = '11/21/2022,Payment,"Transfer to Smith, account 2",,USD,,123.60,'; say "IN: $line"; my $aoa = csv (in => \$line); my ($fDate, $fType, $fDetails, $fRef, $fCurrency, $fAmount, $fPaidOut, $fFees) = @{$aoa->[0]}; printf "\n Date: %s; Type: %s; \n". " Details: %s\n Reference: %s\n". " Currency: %s; Amount: %s; PaidOut: %s; Fees: %s;\n", $fDate, $fType, $fDetails, $fRef, $fCurrency, $fAmount, $fPaidOut, $fFees;

to upgrade from this single line to the complete file

my $aoa = csv (in => \$line);

changes to

my $aoa = csv (in => $file);

And then all is available in the $aoa

foreach my $record (@$aoa) { my ($date, $type, $dtls, $ref, $curr, $amt, $paid, $fees) = @$reco +rd; ...; }

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
