I'm parsing every file in a directory, cutting whitespace out (per a
previous request) and so far it is working great, but I have come across a
couple of things:
1. I either need to cut the first and last line of each file
or
2. I need to skip the line if one of the fields is empty.
I have tried to code 2, however the lines are not working right.
if ($comp_name ne " "){....}
leaves in the blank lines. I have tried to use just single quotes, but same
results. so the question is, how can I do both 1 and 2. Some of the pipe
files I am playing with are going to only be 1 or 2 lines, and parsing them
out instead of just cutting the first and last lines and loading them as-is
into the database will be faster then trying to grep for an empty, but
grepping on the empty for other (much larger files) would be best, so I need
to be able to do both.
TIA!
Robert
