I do not recommend using regular expressions to parse a CSV. What happens if part of the input includes a comma? In the Massive Overkill department, I would suggest using DBD::CSV:

use DBI; $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:CSV:") or die "Cannot connect: " . $DBI::errstr; $dbh->{'csv_tables'}->{'data'} = { 'file' => 'data.csv'}; # Find the matching rows in the table $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM data ' . 'WHERE column1 = ? AND column2 = ? ' . 'AND column7 = ? AND column5 = ?', $one, $two, $three, $four) or die "Cannot prepare: " . $dbh->errstr(); $sth->execute() or die "Cannot execute: " . $sth->errstr(); my($id, $name); $sth->bind_columns(undef, \$id, \$name); while ($sth->fetch) { # Print the name and id of each matching row printf("Found result row: id = %s, name = %s\n", defined($id) ? $id : "NULL", defined($name) ? $name : "NULL"); } $sth->finish(); $dbh->disconnect();

The intelligent reader will judge for himself. Without examining the facts fully and fairly, there is no way of knowing whether vox populi is really vox dei, or merely vox asinorum. — Cyrus H. Gordon

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
