NAME

EAI::File - read/parse Files from the filesystem or write to the filesystem

SYNOPSIS

readText ($File, $data, $filenames, $redoSubDir, $countPercent)
readExcel ($File, $data, $filenames, $redoSubDir)
readXML ($File, $data, $filenames, $redoSubDir)
writeText ($File, $data)
writeExcel ($File, $data)

DESCRIPTION

EAI::File contains all file parsing API-calls. This is for reading plain text data (also as quoted csv), reading excel data (old 2003 and new 2007+ format), reading xml data, writing plain text data and excel files.

API

readText ($$$;$$)

reads the defined text file with specified parameters into array of hashes (DB ready structure)

$File      .. hash ref for File specific configuration
$data      .. hash ref for returned data (hashkey "data" -> above mentioned array of hashes)
$filenames .. array of file names, if explicit (given in case of mget and unpacked zip archives).
$redoSubDir .. (optional) redo subdirectory, where file can be taken alternatively to homedir.
$countPercent .. (optional) percentage of progress where indicator should be output (e.g. 10 for all 10% of progress). set to 0 to disable progress indicator

returns 0 on error, 1 if OK

readExcel ($$$;$)

reads the defined excel file with specified parameters into array of hashes (DB ready structure)

$File      .. hash ref for File specific configuration
$data      .. hash ref for returned data (hashkey "data" -> above mentioned array of hashes)
$filenames .. array of file names, if explicit (given in case of mget and unpacked zip archives).
$redoSubDir .. (optional) redo subdirectory, where file can be taken alternatively to homedir.

returns 0 on error, 1 if OK

readXML ($$$;$)

reads the defined XML file with specified parameters into array of hashes (DB ready structure)

$File      .. hash ref for File specific configuration
$data      .. hash ref for returned data (hashkey "data" -> above mentioned array of hashes)
$filenames .. array of filenamea, if explicit (given in case of mget and unpacked zip archives).
$redoSubDir .. (optional) redo subdirectory, where file can be taken alternatively to homedir.

returns 0 on error, 1 if OK

For all read<*> functions custom "hooks" can be defined with fieldCode and lineCode to modify and enhance the standard mapping defined in format_header. To access the final line data the hash %EAI::File::line can be used (specific fields with $EAI::File::line{<target header column>}). if a field is being replaced using a different name from targetheader, the data with the original header name is placed in %EAI::File::templine. You can also access data from the previous line with %EAI::File::previousline and the previous temp line with %EAI::File::previoustempline.

writeText ($$)

writes a text file using specified parameters from array of hashes (DB structure)

$File      .. hash ref for File specific configuration
$data      .. hash ref for returned data (hashkey "data" -> above mentioned array of hashes)

returns 0 on error, 1 if OK

writeExcel ($$)

writes an excel file using specified parameters from array of hashes (DB structure)

$File      .. hash ref for File specific configuration
$data      .. hash ref for returned data (hashkey "data" -> above mentioned array of hashes)

returns 0 on error, 1 if OK
