DETAILS
MANIFEST: db_fix_column.pl
PROJECT: meta
VERSION: 0.13SYNOPSIS
db_fix_column.plDESCRIPTION
This will fix a column in a text table for you. It will assume that the text file is a reflection of a table in a database and has a certain delimiter to make it such (both for lines and for entries within lines) and will make the values in that column sequential.
Take heed when using this script since it actually modifies the file given to it. The change that this script makes is also non reversible. This means you should back up your data. Really.
