I use an application called Easy-IP to keep track of IP utilization. Underneath lies a Firebird database, which I've extracted to CSV. The header line lists all the columns, but I wanted to know the array index for processing. Short of counting commas, I came up with:

head -1 ./current.csv |perl -ane '$i = 0; s/\,/" ".$i++."\n"/eg; print
+;'

The header line looks like so:

SUBNET_ID,AUTONOMOUS_NETWORK_ID,PARENT_ID,TREE_PATH,SUBNET,CIDR_MASK,I
+P_VERSION,LOW_ADDRESS,HIGH_ADDRESS,BROADCAST_ADDRESS,SHORT_SUBNET,ASS
+IGNED_ADDRESSES,CHILD_SUBNET_COUNT,COMMENT,SYSTEM_FLAG1,REPLICATED_FR
+OM,CREATED,UPDATED,LOCATION,USAGE,NETWORK_NAME,IP_NETWORK,IP_NETWORK_
+BLOCK,ORGANIZATION,ADMIN_CONTACT,TECH_CONTACT,ORG_NAME,STREET_ADDRESS
+,CITY,STATE,POSTAL_CODE,COUNTRY_CODE,PRIMARY_SERVER,SECONDARY_SERVER
[download]

My output, abbreviated:

SUBNET_ID 0
AUTONOMOUS_NETWORK_ID 1
PARENT_ID 2
TREE_PATH 3
SUBNET 4
...

I bet the brains at PM can do better. Suggestions?

• 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).
